Two Chaat Chutneys Recipe Indian Street Food Chaat Chutneys Recipes

You are at the right stop if you are browsing for the ESSENTIAL Chaat Chutneys.

Talk about Indian Street Food say ‘Chaat’, you cannot really make them without these 2 essential Chaat Chutneys - Tamarind Dates Chutney and Coriander Chutney. Folks following me on social media know how much I love Chaat and they are often made in my kitchen.

Growing up in Mumbai, Streetfood has been an inseparable part of me. And ever since then, enjoying a perfect Pani puri, Sev Puri, Ragda Patties, Pav Bhaji, Masala Pav, Ram Ladoo etc has become a partial necessity. We have been in London for nearly a decade and finding the perfectly served chaat is far from desired. There will be something amiss always. Amma has always made Chaat Chutneys home and It has been passed on to me too. Making these chutneys are slightly laborious but you could make them in large portions and stock them in the freezer too. Chaats can be made at a jiffy if you have these chutneys stacked up in your refrigerator.

DATES TAMARIND CHUTNEY is a lip smacking Essential Chaat Chutneys that is generously added on to the chaats to render the sweet tangy flavour just as the name - Khatti Meeti Chutney. Some people call it Sonth chutney, Imli ki Chutney, Sweet Chutney and what not. These are readily available to buy in any asian stores, but trust me homemade chutney’s will taste a lot nicer than the store bought one! This chutney is quite popular among friends too and they would actually love the whole jar on the table, not just extra serving 🙂 Most store bought chutneys will be sugar ladened sans dates. So I would highly recommend to make them at home and enjoy them as much as you like. One another Essential Chaat Chutneys is the CORIANDER CHUTNEY. This Coriander Chutney is tangy, spicy and a must for the Street Food preparation. A few people do like to add a portion of Mint to it, but thats entirely personal choice. Everyone has their way to make chutneys and I am sharing this recipe that my mum learnt from her Gujarati friend years before. And I have been making it ditto the same way for years now. For me the Green chutney for making Chaat has to be loaded with coriander. Coriander is my favourite most herb and is literally a must in a lot of dishes.
