Ingredients
  

1 cup = 250 ml

FOR SOAKING TAMARIND

  • 1/4 cup tamarind
  • 1/2 cup hot water

FOR BOILING DATES

  • 1/2 cup dates (seeds removed)
  • 1/4 cup jaggery or sugar
  • 1 cup water

FOR MAKING CHUTNEY

  • 1/4 tsp dry ginger powder
  • 1/2 tsp roasted cumin powder
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
  • 1/4 tsp black salt
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

SOAKING OF TAMARIND

  • Take tamarind and boiling water in a bowl.
  • Mix them well.
  • Keep aside till needed.

BOILING DATES

  • Take dates (seeds removed), jaggery and water in a bowl. If using sugar in place of jaggery, then don't add sugar for boiling.
  • Boil for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and let it cool down completely.
  • Grind to a fine puree.

MAKING OF CHUTNEY

  • Put a sieve on a pan and add puree and soaked tamarind (with water).
  • Squeeze out the pulp in the pan.
  • Add dry ginger powder, red chilli powder, salt, black salt and roasted cumin powder. If you haven't used the jaggery, then add sugar at this stage.
  • Simmer on moderate heat till the mixture slightly thickens.
  • You can check the thickness by coating a spoon or spatula. Then draw a line and if a clear line is formed, its thick enough. Remember, chutney will thicken more on cooling and much more in refrigerator.
  • Take the pan off the heat and let it cool down completely.
  • Dates chutney is ready. Enjoy.

Notes

This recipe can be made with dry dates as well but they need to be boiled for a longer.
