Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Soak Tamarind
In a bowl, soak the tamarind pulp in 2 cups of warm water for about 30 minutes. This will soften the pulp and help extract its flavor.
- 2
Extract Tamarind Juice
After soaking, use your hands to mash the tamarind pulp in the water, ensuring that all the pulp is dissolved. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl, discarding any solids left behind.

Cook the Chutney
In a saucepan, combine the tamarind juice with jaggery (or brown sugar), salt, chili powder, cumin powder, black salt, grated ginger, and coriander powder.

Simmer
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Cool and Store
Remove from heat and let the chutney cool. Once cool, transfer it to a clean jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
