Imli Ki Meethi Chutney

🇮🇳 Indian

Tamarind-date style chutney, the dark sweet drizzle that finishes every chaat. The condiment that carries the meal — bright, punchy and made in minutes. Serve with idli, dosa, rice or anything that needs waking up.

Prep 8 min Cook 8 min Serves 8 Easy

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Mustard Seeds1 tsp
  • Curry Leaves1 sprig
  • Dried Red Chilies1 tsp
  • Asafoetidaa pinch
  • Tamarind Paste2 tbsp
  • Roasted Cumin1 tsp
  • Coconut Oil1 tbsp
  • Jaggery3/4 cup, grated

Instructions

  1. 1

    Chop, measure and line up; the cooking part is over before the radio finishes a song.

  2. 2

    Briefly warm the jaggery in a dry pan until the kitchen smells like it means it.

  3. 3

    Grind the tamarind paste with the jaggery, tamarind, green chilies and salt to a texture you like — smooth or rustic.

  4. 4

    Taste and adjust — salt, sour, heat; chutney should be slightly louder than the dish it accompanies.

  5. 5

    Finish with a sizzling tempering: mustard seeds, curry leaves and dried red chilies poured over the top; stir in only at serving.

Chef's tip

Tamarind too sour? A spoon of coconut milk calms it.
