How to make the recipe
How to make Tamarind Samosa Chutney
Mix together cumin powder, garam masala, red chili powder and fennel in a small sauce pan. Toast them on a low heat for 30 to 60 seconds, until aromatic. Do not burn.
Add the jaggery, tamarind paste and pour water. Mix well and simmer until slightly thick, a sauce like consistency.
Stir in the ginger and black salt during the last 1 minute of cooking. It takes about 8 to 10 mins for the tamarind chutney to reach the right consistency.
Taste test and add more salt, tamarind, jaggery or any other spice as required to taste.
