Date tamarind chutney step-by-step recipe with photos.
Date tamarind chutney (famously known as khajur imli ki chutney) is an integral part of Indian street food. This is also called sweet chutney and can be called one of India’s most favourite chutneys. This sweet tangy chutney is a perfect accompaniment for almost all chaats and fried snacks. This chutney stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to a month and can be frozen for up to 6 months.
To make this chutney, I first make a spice mix by roasting cumin seeds and fennel seeds and grinding them into a fine powder. I combine dates and tamarind with water and boil it. I then add jaggery, salt, and spices., and let it simmer until the mixture becomes thick and pulpy. Then, I cool it completely and pass it through a sieve. The chutney is ready to be served or stored. I use plain pitted dates to make this chutney. However, they can be replaced with Medjool dates too.
Make and store this unique chutney and add a delicious zing to your snack time!
