Take 3 pieces of pear of medium size, wash them, and chop them into small pieces. You may or may not peel the skin.

Now take a frying pan and heat it on a high flame on your gas stove. When it is hot enough, put the chopped pears in it.

Add ½ tsp of regular table salt to the pan. Now, sauté the pears for a few minutes.

Then add 1 piece of star anise, 1 cinnamon stick of about 1-inch size, and ½ tsp of chopped ginger to the ingredients in the pan.

Mix them nicely and let the pears cook for about a minute until the pears become tender and juicy.

Now add 4 tbsp of sugar to it.

Stir it continuously until the sugar mixes and melts nicely. Then, cover the pan and simmer it for about 10 to 12 minutes.

Now, remove the cover and when you see the pears have changed their color slightly, mash them partially using a masher.

Now, add 1 tsp of fresh lemon juice to it.

Then and ½ tsp of red chili powder.

Mix them nicely. Check the consistency and tenderness after a couple of minutes.

Transfer it into a bowl and your delicious pear chutney is ready.
