Imli chutney (Tamarind ) is a sweet and sour chutney. I would always count this recipe as a must have in my refrigerator, as this can be used as a side dish for so many things. Whether its stuffed paratha, or tikki, take out this chutney from your freeze and enjoy your meal. Its very easy to prepare and loved by all. Why waste money on Ketchup when you can make something fresh and it can last for 15 -20 days if kept in freeze.
