How to Make Khajoor Chutney

• Boil the dates for 15 to 20 mins in water just enough to immerse the date seeds.
• Allow the boiled dates to cool and put them in a mixer.
• Add tamarind paste, salt, red chilli powder, jeera powder and dhania powder.
• Grind into a fine paste and pour it into a ceramic container (do not use steel or metal utensils).
• Add the jaggery and dissolve it into the mixture. (Make sure you use the right amount of jaggery or the chutney will become very sweet).
• Serve the chutney with samosa, batate vada or use in ragada patties.
