Date tamarind chutney- A sweet and tangy tamarind and date chutney-Khajoor Imli ki Chutney

Date Tamarind Chutney/ Khajoor imli ki chutney/ Sweet tamarind chutney is the most popular chutney of Northern India .It is served with each and every snack and chaat items, no chaat is complete with out drizzling few spoons of this tangy chutney.

I always keep a jar full of tamarind chutney in my refrigerator and on each festival it is  the first thing to make  before starting to make the savory snacks.

Making date tamarind chutney is quite easy if you add the ingredients in correct ratio to balance the sweet and sour taste of it .You can use either sugar or jaggary ,both taste good. The spice level can also be adjusted according to your preference but as it is used over chats so it will be on spicier side.

But do remember to remove all the seeds from date and tamarind before grinding else they will ruin the taste of the chutney ,addition of raisins is optional you can skip if you wish.

Though date tamarind chutney is the most popular one but their are few more versions of making sweet chutney other then making with tamarind ,we can also make saunth /sweet chutney with mango powder, aam papad and amchoor. These chutneys are also made prior to all the festival and celebrations.

It taste great with Dahi vada, Aloo samosa, Batata vada , Masala mathri and almost every street food and chaat items.
