Notes

  1. The consistency of this chutney is semi-thick. If desired adjust the consistency of the chutney by adding some water for a thinner consistency. 
  2. Adjust the spice level, reduce red chili powder for less spicy chutney.
  3. If using only jaggery, double the amount of jaggery.
  4. For stove top cooking, in a pot, on a high heat, add tamarind, jaggery, dates, and water. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cook the mixture for around 10-15 mins or until tamarind and dates are soften. Rest of the steps remain the same as discussed in the recipe.
