Saunth or Sooth is a sweet chutney used in Indian chaats. It is made from dried ginger, or Sooth and Imli (Tamarind) paste, hence the name. Chutney is brownish red in colour.

Modern sooth is often made with dates, but sooth made with dried ginger give a special flavour to the chaat and preferred in most parts of North India.
