Tamarind chutney is a sauce made using seedless tamarind and jaggery. This simple sauce is sweet as well as tangy and is flavoured with lots of spices such as roasted cumin seeds powder, garam masala powder, black pepper powder, black salt etc. Tamarind chutney is indispensable for chaats and snacks such as samosa etc.
seedless tamarind: seedless tamarind is easily available in the stores. As such even tamarind pulp is easily available which could fasten the process but I like to use tamarind for making this chutney. Tamarind needs to be soaked in enough warm water.
jaggery: tamarind makes this chutney tangy and jaggery makes it sweet. the quantity of jaggery can be adjusted as per taste. This recipe will give you a sweeter chutney.
other spices: tamarind is flavoured with roasted cumin seeds powder, red chili powder, and many more spices and each spice compliments chutney very well.
