Imli Chutney – Authentic Sweet & Tangy Tamarind Chutney

Imli Chutney (imli ki chatni) is Pakistan's essential sweet-tangy tamarind sauce — the condiment that defines chaat, elevates samosas, and transforms every snack into the real thing.

The Tangy Heart of Pakistani Street Food — Now in Your Kitchen

Shahida's Imli Chutney is crafted from a 50-year family recipe, made in small batches using real tamarind pulp, jaggery or sugar, and Shahida's secret spice(s). No shortcuts. No artificial preservatives. Just the deep, sweet-tangy flavour that makes Pakistani chaat truly unforgettable.

Flavour Profile

Tangy · Sweet · Warming — the first note is the bright sourness of real tamarind, which opens into the layered sweetness of jaggery or sugar & Shahida's secret spice(s), then closes with the earthy warmth of black salt. It coats your food rather than pooling beneath it. That body comes from cooking real tamarind pulp — not concentrate.

Ingredients

Tamarind Pulp, Jaggery or Sugar, Black Salt, Red Chilli, Vinegar, Shahida's Secret Spice(s)

All ingredients are halal by nature. No alcohol. No non-halal derivatives.

The Difference Is in the Tamarind

Most commercial imli chutneys use concentrate — it's cheaper, faster, and consistent across millions of units. Ours starts with real tamarind pulp. Slower. More expensive. And the only way to get the depth of flavour that concentrate simply cannot replicate. The jaggery or sugar and secret spice(s) aren't decoration; they create the layered sweetness that makes this chutney memorable. No shortcuts. No artificial preservatives. The real thing.

Better Together

Pair Imli Chutney with our Mint & Imli Chutney for the classic dark-and-green samosa platter combination, and finish with a pinch of Chaat Masala over everything. Or get all three in the Starter Bundle and save PKR 250. Prefer chutneys only? The Premium Chutney Collection brings all three 250ml chutneys together and saves PKR 150.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does imli chutney cost, and where do you deliver?
PKR 550 for the 250ml bottle and PKR 800 for 500ml. We deliver nationwide across Pakistan, typically 2–3 business days in major cities and 3–5 days elsewhere.

Is this like homemade imli ki chatni?
It's the closest thing to it — and more consistent. We use real tamarind pulp (never concentrate), jaggery or sugar, and the same 50-year family method in every small batch. No artificial preservatives; the natural acidity of imli and vinegar does the preserving.

Imli ki chatni kis cheez se banti hai? (What is it made from?)
Tamarind pulp, jaggery or sugar, black salt, red chilli, vinegar, and Shahida's secret spice(s). Six real ingredients — nothing artificial.

What's the difference between this and commercial imli chutney?
Mass-market chutneys typically use tamarind concentrate, stabilisers and artificial preservatives to survive 12–18 months on a shelf. Ours is made in small batches from real pulp, which is why the flavour is deeper and the ingredient list shorter.

Storage Instructions

Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight — for the freshest flavour, enjoy within 6 months. Refrigerate after opening and use within 4–6 weeks. Shake well before use; always use a clean, dry spoon.
