I am going to totally cut down on my yapping and straight away go to this mouth watering recipe. I simply love it...its easy to make and very very yummy!! you will love it too!!
Ingredients:
1) Tamarind - golf ball sized
2) Red Chilli powder - 1 to 2 tsp (according to your spice level)
3) Sugar - 4 tbsp (according to taste)
4) Salt - a pinch
5) Asafoetida/Hing - a pinch
6) Turmeric powder - a pinch
6) Chaat masala powder - 1 tbsp
7) Red chili flakes - half tsp (optional)
8) Coriander powder - half tsp
9) Freshly grated ginger - 1 tsp
10) Water - 2 cups, to make the tamarind pulp
Method:
1) Microwave the water for 2 mins (or just boil it in stove) and pour it in a bowl with tamarind in it. Allow this to cool down and extract the tamarind pulp. Strain this to remove wastage. Easier way is to use the ready-made tamarind pulp. You can use 3 tbsp of the pulp to dilute in the hot water.Although I do not prefer the taste of ready-made tamarind pulp.
2) To the tamarind water add rest of the ingredients and mix well.
3) If you are using a microwave, partially cover the bowl and cook it for 10 mins. Stir the contents every 2 mins. Or you can just boil this mixture on stove stirring occasionally. Boil this till the liquid reduces to half the quantity and thickens.
4) You can sprinkle chopped Coriander leaves to garnish (this is optional).
This yummy chutney can be stored and used for a week..Love it with any kind of chaats!
Note:
1) The quantity of ingredients can be varied according to your taste. before micorwaving, just taste it once and adjust accordingly.
2) You can try out different ingredients to sweeten this chutney.one option is sugar, alternatively you can use powdered jaggrey or brown sugar or even try out maple syrup!
3) There is another version of the chutney where you can microvave a lil sugar and seedless dates for about 5 mins, grind this and add it to the chutney instead of just sugar. This way the chutney gets a thicker consistency. If you are lazybones like me, then use dates syrup!! :))
