Sweet and savoury dip made from tamarind, sweetner and spices. It's a delicious dip that can be paired with chaats, samosas, paani puri, pakodas and so much more.
Ingredients
- 1/2 block or 1/2 cup seedless Tamarind
- 1/2 cup Brown sugar tamarind to sugar ratio should be 1:1
- 1/2 - 1 tsp Red chilli powder
- 3/4 tsp Ginger powder or saunth
- 1/2 tsp Black salt or kala namak
- 3/4 tsp Roasted cumin powder
- 1 tsp Coriander powder
- 2 cup water adjust according to requirement
Instructions
- Soak tamarind in room temperature water overnight or for 4 to 5 hours in a bowl. For quick results soak it in hot water for an hour.
- Pour this into a sieve over a larger bowl and squeeze the pulp from the tamarind with your hands.
- Add more water to help pass the pulp through the sieve, until you have squeezed out most of the pulp and you have only the fibers of the tamarind fruit left.
- You should have a fairly thick and smooth tamarind pulp. Set this aside.
- To this, add brown sugar, ginger powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder and black salt.
- Mix well with a whisk until everything is well combined.
- Store the tamarind chutney in an air-tight dry jar or container in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
- Serve with Indian chaat and other snacks.
