In a kadhai/wok, put the measured oil and allow it to heat up at the medium heat & then put in- the panchphoran, sauté for 25 secs time
When it releases it's aroma then, put in the tomatoes followed by the salt and turmeric powder and sauté for about half a minute & then cover the pan with a tight lid until the tomatoes releases it's own juice slowly to be cooked in the same only...Gas Flame should be absolutely low-mediu
No water is at all used in it, in the entire cooking procedure- Occasionally, we need to open the lid of the pan and stir it well enough from the bottom of the pan in order to avoid sticking to it & burning
Once it releases enough water & is well cooked- it’s time to mash the tomatoes a bit with the spatula & pour in the apricots- sauté again for about a couple of mins & add in the sugar to it
Again, cover it for about sometime & allow it to be well cooked and the sugar gets entirely dissolved in it & in case, we find the consistency runny- we need to thicken it a bit- as is seen in the pics
Now lastly, add in the lemons juice and give it a good mix and then turn off the heat and our Sweet & Sour & Tangy Tomatoes Apricots & Lemons Chutney is ready to be served now
