Meetha chutney is a sweet and tangy condiment or chutney had with Indian chaats. It is made with Seedless Dates, Jaggery and Tamarind.

It is used in most Indian Chaat Recipes like Bhel Puri, Sev Puri, papdi chaat and ragda pattice. Indian chaat is incomplete without the accompaniment of Meetha Chutney. The sweetness to the chaat comes from dates and tamarind chutney, it balances the spice, which results in chaat to be sweet and spicy.
