Date & Tamarind Chutney Recipe Cooking Time: 25 Minutes (Approx)
(Khajur Imli Chutney) Makes about 1/2 Cup of Chutney
INGREDIENTS
100g Dates (seeds removed)
30g Fresh Tamarind or Tamarind Paste
¾ tspn Salt
½ tspn Chili Powder
¼ tspn Roasted Ground Cumin Powder
Pinch of Chaat Masala
Pinch of Ginger Powder
METHOD
Soak the Dates and Tamarind in 1 ¼ Cup boiling water for 1-2 hours. Alternately you can boil the Dates and Tamarind in a small saucepan for 15-20 minutes until the dates are softened up.
Tip: Add more boiling water as needed, but remember not to make it too runny!
Let the mixture cool down a bit before grinding.
Tip: Cooling the mixture down will avoid it splashing everywhere from the blender as pressure builds up inside the blender if the contents are too hot.
Remove any excess water from soaking or boiling, but keep it on the side.
Using a blender, grind the Dates and Tamarind into a smooth paste using a small amount of water from soaking or boiling.
Tip: Remember to only add boiled and cooled water to the mix if more water is needed.
Tip: Don't make the Chutney too runny as you can always add more water later, but you cannot remove excess water.
Sieve the mixture to remove any fibres. Throw the fibres away.
Add the spices and mix well. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. This should taste sweet and sour with a little heat and some punch from the Chaat Masala.
This Date Tamarind Chutney recipe looks absolutely delicious—perfect for elevating any chaat dish! Just like having the right chutney can rescue a meal, having access to quick emergency tyre repairs can save your day on the road. Great post and very well explained!
