This Sweet and sour chutney is like a dipping sauce and very much a must accompaniment with savoury snack like chats and samosas.Ingredients
1 cup - Seedless Tamarind
1/2 cup - Dates, finely chopped
3/4 to 1 cup - Jaggery, grated
1/4 cup - Brown sugar or Sugar
4 cups - Water
Seasoning
2 tsp - Roasted cumin powder
1 tsp - Red chili powder
1/2 tsp - Garam masala powder
1/2 tsp - Black salt
1/4 tsp - Dry ginger powder
1 tsp - Salt or more to taste
Method
1 ) To a saucepan, crumble and add tamarind. Then dates, jaggery, brown sugar and 4 cups water and bring to a boil. Simmer and cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Stir and crush the tamarind to the side of the pan with spoon. Once this has cooked and thickened, take off stove.
2 ) Strain through a sieve and place the strained sauce back on stove. Add the seasoning powders and salt. Bring to a boil and thicken the sauce a bit. Take off the stove and cool. Chutney will thicken more as it cools down completely. Store in fridge and use as needed.
Serve as a dipping sauce with savoury snacks.

Hi Pravs,
Have included your Chutney as a model recipe in the One page cookbook at http://ramkicooks.blogspot.com/.
/Thanks for the recipe
just made this its a bit too tangy, i doubled thae jaggery but its still sour... anyway to fix this.... otherwise its good
Pamela: this chutney is a combination and balance of tangy - sweetness. once refrigerated it may bring down a bit of the tangy taste. Sorry i am not able help out here much.
You have a nice site here. Just to let you know that there are lots of bloggers who like to use other's photographs without asking fo their permission. They stole my pictures and recipe too and I noticed your watermark on their picture. Your picture of this chutney is being used here:

omg this is amazing!!! thank you an excellent recipe. I used 1 cup jaggery and 1/2 cup molasses (i forgot the sugar, was meant to be brown sugar! ) Lovely with our homemade Samosa and cilantro chutney.
God bless
