No cardamoms, No Badaam, and No kishmish, would give you the perfect chutney and secondly put some tyme. (Ajwain) goes really good with tomatoes.

Re: Chutneys

Imli kee chutney

Imli
tomato puree
balsamic vinger
lemon juice
salt
chat masala
red peper
sugar
brown sugar
dried dhaniya powder

Soak imli in water, when all the imli has been extracted in the water, drain it. Add the imli water in a pan, add all the above ingredients except sugar and brown sugar. When the imli mixture has boiled for almost 10-15 mins, then add brown sugar and regular table sugar. Let it cook till it reaches your desired consistancy. Let it cool and save it in a clean, dry bottle/container.

Since I don't measure stuff so I can't write the exact amount of spices and stuff required. Basically look at the quantity of imli water. For example if it is 1 cup water, add almost 2-3 tbsp of tomato puree, 1/2 tsp of salt, 1/4 red chili, 2-3 of brown sugar and regular sugar, 1-3 of lemon juice, 1-2 of balsamic vinegar, almost 1tsp of chat masala and dried dhaniya. If you like more towards meethi side add more sugar & brown sugar. If you like more spicy, add more red chili. If you like to keep it tangy you want to keep the chili and sugar content low. Just make sure you taste it and adjust the salt and spices to your taste before poring it into container.

Enjoy it with chaat, dahi baray, and all sorts of snacks.

If you like to make aloo bukhara and imli kee chutney then soak aloo bukharas over night. (don't soak them into too much water) Next day take the seeds out of them, they will come out eaily. Take the aloo bukharas out of water and soak imli in the same water. When imli is extracted completly in the water, drain it. Add the this water, aloo bukharas and all the other ingrdients mentiomed above (except sugars). Let it cook on medium heat for 20-30 mins (or till the aloo bukharas are really soft and start blending in the syrup) Then add sugar(s). Let it cook till you obtain the required consistancy. Check the spices, when done pour it into a clean and dry container.

Let the chutnies cool before refrigerating them.

oh and if you don't have brown sugar, skip it, just use enough regular sugar.
if you don't have balsamic vinegar, skip it, use half amount of the regular vinegar (if adding more then one tsp).
