Tamarind Chutney
इस व्यंजन को हिन्दी में पढ़ें
This is a delicious and traditional recipe for tamarind chutney. This chutney goes with all sort of chaat preparations. I have added some dates in this chutney - Dates are a healthier option, and also reduce the amount of sugar needed for the recipe. If you don't eat dates, you can replace them by increasing the amount of sugar/jaggery.
Ingredients (makes about 2 cup)
- Tamarind ¼ cup
- Dates 6-8
- Raisins 1 tbsp
- Brown sugar / jagerry ½ cup
- White salt ¼ tsp

- Grounded black pepper ¾ tsp
