Ingredients

  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • 1/4 cup tamarind paste or 1 tablespoon tamarind concentrate
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups water

Instructions

  • The process is very quick and easy if you are using store-bought tamarind plum.
  • Put the tamarind pulp or concentrate, dates, ginger, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and water in a high-speed blender. Process until smooth.
  • Spoon chutney into a saucepan on medium heat. Reduce heat to simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Once the water has been reduced and the chutney has reached a smooth glossy consistency, turn off the flame.
  • You can keep a balance between the sourness and sweetness with a hint of heat from the cayenne.
