Sweet and Sour Tamarind Chutney

Like I mentioned in my previous post today's recipe is tamarind chutney .Whenever I go to my friend A's place, she always prepares some nice cripsy pakodas, or samosas or North Indian special snacks which I abosultely love, and she always used to serve them with her delicious tamarind chutney.Eventhough she shared the recipe with me long time back , the amount of sugar that goes in put me off from trying it,but later when I searched online for tamarind chutney's recipe I found the show me the curry's recipe which used jaggery so even before thinking twice I made this tamarind chutney,it didnt taste different from the chutney with sugar.So if there is any health consicious people out there, this might be little less guilt free one :)
