Chat Chutney without Tamarind

Surprised???? But it is true.I thank my friend Kriti, from whom I learnt this non acidic cutney.Usually this chat chutney consists of Tamarind.We all know that Tamarind is acidic.It definitely leads to acidity if eaten with empty stomach.I did this mistake once.I and my family was in search of Indian Restaurant.Finally we found one.I was very hungry and attacked Samosa and this chat chutney which was being served as starters.And needless to say,I spoiled my whole day with unbearable headache out of acidity.

But thankfully,I found this nice recipe to make chat chuteny.Now you too can as many chat items as you wish as starters without having tension of such silly incidents.It tastes as goods as traditional tamarind chutney.

Believe me,it is really a great item and very easy to make.

Ingredients :

1. Jaggery - 1 Cup
2. Sugar - 1 Cup
3. Amchur or Dry mango Powder - 1/2 cup
4. Water - 4 Cups
5. Cumin and Coriander powder(Roasted) - 1 Tea spoon each.
6. Salt to taste

Steps :

• In the, water add Sugar and keep to heat up on medium flame.
• As soons as you the Sugar is melted,add  Amchur powder and salt and let the mixture boil at low to medium flame.
• If needed, add more water and let Amchur boil well.
• Add Jaggery and let it melt.
• Add Cumin and Coriander powder.
• Put the flame off.
• The chutney is ready to be served with Samosa,Kachori or any chat

TIPS:

• Even if the chutney is very watery,do not worry.As it cools down, it gets thickened.
• If you feel that it is still watery even after cooled down.Boil it for some more time and let it cool down again. 
• Add Jaggery at the later part to avoid as Jaggery gets  burnt quickly.
