Instructions
For making sweet Khajur Imli chutney:
- Firstly, in a kadhai or saucepan add deseeded dates (khajur) and water, and let it simmer on low flame for about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Cook the khajur till it turns softer.
- Now, add 1 tbsp tamarind paste.
- Add 1 tbsp sugar
- Add 1 tbsp grated or powdered or cubes of jaggery. You can adjust the sweetness with the amount of sugar and jaggery as per your choice.
- Stir and cook till the sugar and jaggery dissolves, simmer on low flame.
- Add ½ tsp red chilli powder and ½ tsp coriander powder
- Add 1 tsp fennel seeds.
- Add salt, mix all the ingredients nicely and stir and cook on medium low flame for 2 more minutes.
- Turn off the flame and let the mixture cool down to room temperature.
- Now transfer the chutney mixture into the mixer grinder or blender, and grind it to smooth paste.
- If needed, strain the ground mixture using the strainer. I have skipped this step as I am using tamarind paste.
- Finally, transfer the mixture into the air-tight glass jar or container and use as and when you need it.
