Wood apples are in the season and I decided to try a chutney with it. Wood apple dates chutney turned out to be delicious and it has a combination of sweetness, spice and tangy flavors. I loved it with some Pudina thepla.

Wood apples are rarely bought in my house as no one prefers to eat it in my family compared to juicy red apples. The rare occasions I buy these wood apples, I use them to make a chutney. Wood apples are also known as bel fruit. This chutney is so versatile and goes well with flat bread, dosa etc. So, sharing a recipe for a spicy, sweet, tangy Wood Apple dates chutney today..
