This sweet tamarind version is classically used as a dipping sauce for Indian fried snacks like pakoras (vegetable fritters) and samosas (potato-filled pastries). I picked up some aloo chaat kati pouches at Trader Joe's not to long ago and then realized I didn't have any chutney for dipping.

Hi, after taking a 3 year break from Cookpad I am back. I'm glad I didn't delete my account. I am looking forward to adding some more family recipes and trying some of yours.
