ABOUT Dates and Tamarind Chutney / Khajur Imli ki Chutney RECIPE

Dates and Tamarind chutney is known as Khajur Imli ki Chuney in Hindi and is a very popular Indian dip which goes well with almost all the chat dishes. In fact one cannot imagine an Indian chaat without this lip smacking dip. It is made using Dates, Tamarind and Jaggery and seasoned with Salt and Chili powder. I generally make this chutney in bulk as it has a shelf life of about 1 month when refrigerated .Iron rich Dates and Jaggery add sweetness to the dip and compliment very well with the tangy Tamarind.
