Tamarind is one of the oldest concentrated sources of vitamins A and C in the world. The green, thorny fruit, which looks like a date and grows on a tree in tropical regions across India, is used in many different dishes.

Among various tamarind chutneys, this is my favorite sweet chutney. This dish came from a Calcutta-based acquaintance who generously shared it with me. I created this sweet tamarind chutney, which is unique and delicious. This chutney differs from my previous chutney in that it has green chilies and coriander leaves. You’ll need tamarind pulp for this, so purchase dried tamarind that’s red in color rather than black, since it won’t give you a nice color. I added sugar and other spices to my delicious chutney according to my preferences. The easiest method to determine the flavor is to taste it and adjust the spices to our preferences. Meethi chutney is another name for this delicious tamarind chutney. Samosas, chaat, chips, pokaras, and other snacks may be served. This delicious tamarind chutney isn’t like any of the others I’ve made (meethi chutney). I kept it in an airtight jar and frozen it for 1 to 2 months. It may also be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks and used as needed. Tamarind chutney should have a pouring consistency, not a thick one. When it cools, it thickens and tightens, therefore maintain the consistency thin when cooking to prevent it thickening. This delicious chutney is made with a unique roasted spice. Sprinkle this spice combination on top of the sweet chutney whenever you use it; it gives additional flavor and taste to the meal, such as dahi ballae.
