Tamarind and Date Chutney step by step
- Pit the dates and the soak them with the tamarind and jaggery in about 2cups of water for 2 hours.

- Then boil this mixture till it reaches boiling point then simmer for 5-7minutes..
- Add water if mixture dries up and starts burning..
- Strain mixture when it cools till the husk of tamarind remain,you you will need to do repeats by adding water to achieve that..
