Notes

  • firstly, soak the tamarind and dates in warm water for 30 minutes, to reduce the boiling time.
  • additionally, temper the chutney with chopped green chilli, and garlic for more flavours.
  • most noteworthy, use seedless dates and tamarind, else tamarind chutney will turn bitter while blending to puree.
  • also, dilute the chutney as desired just before serving to increase the shelf life.
  • finally, tamarind chutney / tamarind date chutney stays good for a month when refrigerated in a airtight glass jar.
