    2. The chutney has a sweet and sour taste. You can substitute it pretty much in every recipe where you are required to use Tamarind Imli chutney.
    3. We normally use it in Dahi Bhalla, Gol Gappe, Papri Chat, Aloo Tikki and Bread Pakoda Chat. The list is endless and is only restricted to your taste and imagination.
