Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Medjool dates
- 5 raisins
- 2 medium green bell peppers (seeds and ribs removed, roughly chopped)
- 1 to 2 small green chilis (stalks removed)
- 1 medium lime (juice)
- 1/4 teaspoon kala namak (or salt)
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds (plus more as desired (optional))
Instructions
- Soak the dates and raisins: Transfer the dates and raisins to a small bowl. Add boiled water to cover, about ¾ cup. Soak for about 15 minutes, or until softened. Drain and reserve the soaking water. Remove the pits from the dates.

- Optional for a creamier chutney: Add the sunflower seeds and blend, adding more date-soaking water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of green chilis according to your spice preference.
- This chutney pairs well with various dishes and can be used as a dip or condiment.
