For the Green Chutney
1. Use fresh coriander and mint leaves for nice colour and taste.
2. Ensure there is no mud or stem part in the leaves.
3. Ginger can be replaced with 2 garlic pods, but don’t use ginger and garlic at the same time.
4. Adjust green chilli as per spice level required for this chaat chutney recipe.
5. Addition of turmeric powder is optional, but it helps to give nice green colour.
6. Adjust lemon juice as per tangy and sour taste preferred.
7. Lemon juice can be replaced with vinegar too. But use either one atleast, as it helps to increase the shelf life of the chutney.
8. Shelf life of this green chutney is 2 to 3 days under refrigeration.

For the Sweet Chutney Recipe
1. Use seedless dates and remove all the fibre from tamarind, before pressure cooking.
2. Chilli powder can be replaced with 2 red chilli. If using red chilli, pressure cook along with dates and tamarind.
3. Even 1/2 tsp of dry ginger powder can be used, for more flavour and digestion.
4. Strain the chutney at last perfectly, as it may contain impurities from jaggery, fibre from tamarind (by chance).
