There are basically 3 chutneys that go into making of the perfect bhel. One is the sweet chutney, the second is the green chutney and the third is the red chutney.
SWEET CHUTNEY :
Ingredients :
Dates - 1 cup
tamarind - 1/2 cups
jaggery - 1 cup
chaat masala - 2 tbsps
Method :
Soak the tamarind, dates and jaggery in hot water for 3-4 hours.
grind it fine in the mixie
sieve it
boil the smooth mxiture till it becomes slightly thicker
once it cools, sprinkle the chaat masala and store it.
The proportion of the 3 main ingredients can vary according to one's taste. some people use more tamarind becasue they like the chutney to be a bit sour but i prefer more sweetness so i put more quantity of jaggery and dates. This is because we already have a lot of sourness in the bhel like tomatoes, chaat masala etc.
