I love the sweet chutney they serve along with samosa, it will be little runny and honey like in consistency. I always make sweet chutney with dates which is thick but this time wanted to try a easy chutney also I didn't have dates in stock so just tried to replicate the samosa chutney.This was so tangy and yummy that it served as a best combo for the array of chaats that I made last week.It tastes good with any deep fried snacks.

Method:

- Then add soaked tamarind pulp to it and mix well.Now heat it up till it forms a honey like consistency, then add salt,jeera and red chilli powder.
- Look at the consistency it should be slightly sticky and honey like in consistency.At this stage switch off and strain using a metal strainer.Cool down the chutney and store it.
My Notes:

- Make sure you boil it well else there will be raw smell of tamarind.
