CHAAT CHUTNEY / TAMARIND DATE CHUTNEY / GREEN CHUTNEY / GARLIC CHUTNEY



This is a simple and easy recipe which is one of the main and common ingredient in Chaat recipes. Couple of days before I have posted Pani Puri / Golgappa which is the queen in Chaat items :-)  I have stored pani puri in an airtight container and the day after I have started to make Bhel & Dahi puri.  If you make these chutneys, it can be stored in fridge for more than 2 weeks.   If you have these chutnyes in hand, you can make Bhel puri, Pani puri, Samosa chaat, Dahi puri, Cutlet and patties and the list will never end.  My hubby like chaat and this is first time for me to trying at home.  My hubby and kids enjoyed a lot when I made Dahi puri and will post soon :-)  Make it! Store it! Chat with Chaat! :-)
