Sweet Chutney or Dates Chutney are one of the very simple and delicious item in chat section. If we want a perfect chat, we must have a sweet chutney or else our chat will not complete properly. I usually do not prepare sweet chutney for quick chat items like dhider churmur or cucumber salad etc ......But sweet chutney gives perfect and the best flavour for all chat items.
