Sweet & Sour Chutney (Khatta Mitha Chutney)

My first microwave recipe, Sweet & Sour Chutney is tasty accomplishment for many dishes. This chutney taste is incredible as a spread for sandwich or as a dip for snacks. It has a sweet and sour taste, hence it is perfect to sprinkle on top of samosa, bhelpuri, chaat and many more.



Ingredients :

Tarmarind : 1, big lemon size
Dates – 1 cup / 10-12 dates deseeded

Jaggery – ½ cup grated
Chilli Powder- 1 tsp

Cumin Powder / Jeera Powder -1 tsp
A pinch of salt
Water as needed


Method :

Soak the tamarind and dates (if not using syrup) for half an hour and extract the juice.

Add it to a microwave safe bowl and micro high for 4 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and micro high again for 3 minutes. If it is still very watery, micro high for another 2 minutes.

Cool and store in refrigerator and use it for chats. It tastes great with idly dosas too.
