This is an Indian condiment that you can make easily at home. There are different ways to make Tamarind Chutney. You can use jaggery (Gur), dates in this Chutney but here I am using Sugar in place of Jaggery because as we know summer season is going on and I don’t think that consuming Jaggery (Gur) in summer season is a good idea.
No doubt Jaggery is more healthy than sugar but I preferred Jaggery in this chutney only in winter season because jaggery produces heat in the body.
