Yummy chutneys, raitas and dips

Could someone tell me how to remove excess salt from coconut chutney?

 

I tried this Date Tamarind chutney found on google on a blog . And it came out very well.

ingredients (measuring cup used, 1 cup = 250 ml)

• ½ cup tightly packed seedless tamarind
• ½ cup seedless dates
• ½ cup powdered or grated jaggery or as required - adjust as per your taste
• 2 cups water
• ½ tsp roasted cumin powder
• ½ tsp coriander powder/dhania powder
• ½ tsp dry ginger powder/saunth/sooth
• ¼ or ½ tsp red chili powder or 1 dry red chili
• black salt or rock salt as required.

Steps:

1. in a pan, take the tamarind, dates and water.
2. cook the tamarind and date for about 8-9 minutes on a low flame till they soften.
3. now add the powdered jaggery and continue to cook.
4. let the jaggery dissolve and the mixture thicken a bit.
5. add all the spice powders - red chili powder, coriander powder, dry ginger powder and roasted cumin powder.
6. stir & simmer for a further 1-2 minutes more.
7. season with salt. let the chutney mixture cool down.
8. In a chutney grinder or small blender, grind the this whole mixture till smooth.
9. add some water if required while grinding.
10. strain the chutney through a strainer.
11. store the tamarind date chutney in an airtight bowl or container in the refrigerator and use it when you make chaat at home.
