Instructions

  1. Add the tamarind to a small pot and top with 2 cups of boiling water.
  2. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes until the tamarind softens.
  3. Move the pot to the stove. Add the red chili powder, black salt, cumin powder, and dry ginger powder and cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Take off from the stove and let it cool to room temperature.
  5. When the tamarind mixture is cool enough, remove the seeds by squeezing between your fingers.
  6. Blitz the rest of the chutney in a blender till smooth.
  7. Pass through a sieve to remove any excess fibre.
  8. Store in an airtight glass jar and keep in the fridge for 3-4 weeks or freeze for up to 3-6 months.
  9. Serve it with samosas, chaats and pakoras.

Notes

  • Use the Indian or Pakistani variety of the tamarind for authentic taste.
  • Jaggery is unprocessed brown sugar and has a very a distinctive taste. However, it can be replaced with brown sugar.
  • Customize the chutney's thickness to suit your taste by adjusting its consistency. For a thinner dipping sauce, simply incorporate more water. Keep in mind that the chutney will thicken further as it cools in the refrigerator.
  • If you prefer a smoother chutney, strain it, but for a simpler option, blend it without straining.
