Tamarind also called as Imli in Hindi is a rich source of fiber and helps in digestion. Loaded with essential nutrients, It is quite delicious and beneficial for the body. One can eat the raw tamarind too. I remember as a child, I use to relish on this and I still do. Tamarind gives you the tongue tickling sour taste.
In dehli and other Muslim states of india this imily chutney is a must have of ramazan dasterkhwan
