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.
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.
Flavour Profile
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.
Perfect With
Sweet, tangy and thick enough to hold — it works as a dip as readily as a drizzle.

How hot is Imli Chutney?
Mild. It contains a little red chilli for depth, but the dominant notes are sweet and tangy — it is the gentlest of our four chutneys and the one children eat most happily.
How much does imli chutney cost, and where do you deliver?
Rs.725 for the 250g bottle and Rs.1,075 for 500g. We deliver nationwide across Pakistan, typically 3–4 business days in major cities and 4–5 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.
Imli ki chatni kis cheez se banti hai? (What is it made from?)
Tamarind pulp, water, jaggery or sugar, black salt, red chilli, vinegar, and Shahida's secret spice(s). Seven 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.
Not sure which chutney?
Imli is the mildest and sweetest of the four — the safest choice for children and the most versatile with fried food. For BBQ and wraps, reach for Mint & Imli instead; for heat, Red Chilli & Garlic. Compare all four on the chutneys page.
