At the store they sell Tamarind Concentrate which is about the consistency of jam. The paste you are using seems much thicker. Do I use the concentrate straight or do I dilute it like your'e doing with the paste?

ok..thats a good tip...Will addition of lime juice prevent crystallization of sugar.I remember my mom telling me that addition of lime juce to sugar syrup tends to prevents it from crystallization...Does this work here as well or will it change the taste of the chutney?Thanks for your prompt reply..

You could use brown sugar - the taste is pretty good. One thing we noticed...once you keep the chutney in the refrigerator, the sugar tends to crystallize. You could put it in the microwave for a few seconds and it is fine. The chutney made with jaggery does not crystallize.

Is brown sugar a good substitute to jaggery?

Sorry Nains, I was trying to reply to your comment and I accidentally removed it instead :(.When trying to thicken the chutney, you should thicken it only to where it sticks to your spoon. It will seem too thin at the time but will thicken when it cools. If you try to thicken it on the stove to exactly how you want it, it will definitely become too thick or "wax" like you said. Hope you try it again.

I like to use tablehspoon extra cumin and fennel seed ground for robust flavor. Chutney is a family favorite. Have you watch manjula kitchen? I have fan video for Manjula-ji! Thank you for recipe I try all the time.
