Ingredients

  • 200 g tamarind Pulp
  • 200 g brown sugar or jaggery
  • 500 ml water
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp black salt
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp cloves ground

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a saucepan, combine the tamarind pulp and water. Bring it to a boil and then simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the tamarind softens.
  2. Strain the tamarind mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a separate bowl. Use a spoon to press and extract as much pulp as possible.
  3. Return the strained tamarind pulp to the saucepan, add jaggery (or brown sugar), and stir until the sweetener has dissolved completely.
  4. Add cumin seeds, black salt, red chili powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves to the tamarind mixture. Mix well.
  5. Simmer the mixture on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The chutney should thicken and reach a syrupy consistency.
  6. Allow the tamarind chutney to cool to room temperature. It will further thicken as it cools.
