Tamarind - Date Chutney ( Sweet Indian Chutney)

Step 1

Place the jaggery, dates and water in a deep boiling pan for about 2 hours.

Step 2

After the dates become smooth, blend in a mixer till smooth.

Step 3

Strain and transfer to the pan again.

Step 4

Add the tamarind paste and seasoning.

Step 5

Boil till thick enough to coat the back of a spoon thinly.

Step 6

Cool again. Store in clean airtight bottles and refrigerate.

Step 7

Shelf life of about a month in the refrigerator.

Step 8

* Here, I have used tamarind paste. But in case you do not have tamarind, soak the tamarind in water and extract its paste.

Step 9

What I usually do is use dry tamarind powder which I get from Indian grocery stores.
