Sweet Chutney ( Dates and Tamarind Chutney ) Recipe

Sweet Chutney is an important ingredient for preparing all types of chaats. This tongue tickling chutney is well balanced with all peppy flavors like kala namak ( black salt ), chaat masala, tamarind and jaggery. I have added deseeded dates as a natural sweetener which is also an healthy product. Sweet chutney is used while preparing pani puri, Dahi Puri, Palak paapdi dahi chaat and so on.
This is a North Indian version of the sweet chutney which is usually used in chaats unlike its counterpart i,e South Indian version which is mostly eaten along with sweet pongal.

KitchenMasti Points.

1. You can dilute the sweet chutney as per your choice by adding water but do not forget to boil it later on.
2. See to it that you do not add too much of salt since kaala namak and chaat masala too contains salt in it.
3. You can preserve the chutney in the refrigerator and use it when required.
