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 ground cloves
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- Return the strained tamarind pulp to the saucepan, add jaggery (or brown sugar), and stir until the sweetener has dissolved completely.
- Add cumin seeds, black salt, red chili powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves to the tamarind mixture. Mix well.
- Simmer the mixture on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The chutney should thicken and reach a syrupy consistency.
- Allow the tamarind chutney to cool to room temperature. It will further thicken as it cools.
