About Imli chutney

Imli Chutney, commonly known as tamarind chutney, is a sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy condiment originating from Indian cuisine. Made primarily from tamarind pulp, jaggery or sugar, and aromatic spices, it is a staple accompaniment to street foods like samosas, pakoras, and chaats. Tamarind is rich in antioxidants and dietary fiber, while jaggery provides small amounts of iron. Spices like cumin and black salt enhance its digestive properties. A typical serving of imli chutney is low in calories (around 40-60 kcal per tablespoon), but it is also high in natural sugars due to jaggery or sugar, making it a flavorful but indulgent addition to meals.
