Tamarind Dates Chutney | Sweet Chutney | Chaat Chutney

Tamarind Dates Chutney, a sweet & sour chutney that goes well with many Indian Chaat items. Already i have one recipe for sweet chutney here in my blog, but the recipe that i'm sharing today is quite different in making from the previous one, even though the ingredients are almost same. The consistency of the chutney is thick and can be diluted with water if needed for the recipe. If you're chaat lover and would love to make them often, then make this chutney in bulk and store in refrigerator, it comes handy while making any chaat items. The biggest advantage of making this kind of chutney at home is that you can season the chutney as per your liking. More sour or more sweet, whatever it is, make as you wish !!!
