Ambli, a tamarind and date chutney, is a staple South Asian condiment. But seeing that I never have tamarind around yet almost always have dates on hand, this ambli dupe does the trick. Similarly sweet, tangy, and spicy, it’s perfect for when you want to add a little sweet, savory umph to whatever it is you’re eating.

I’m typically not a fan of knockoffs, but, when it comes to this, I’ll make an exception.
