Before you start
- Dates do more than sweeten: they give the body that stops the chutney being watery. Jaggery alone gives a thin syrup.
- Make it looser than you want. It thickens considerably as it cools.
Method
- Soak the tamarind and dates in 600ml hot water for 30 minutes.
- Simmer the lot for 15 minutes until the dates collapse.
- Cool, then blend and pass through a sieve, pressing hard to get everything through.Sieving is what makes it glossy rather than fibrous.
- Return to the pan with the jaggery and cook 10 minutes until it coats a spoon.
- Stir in the roasted cumin, dry ginger, fennel, chilli powder, black salt and salt.
- Cool completely before bottling. It thickens as it stands.
Storage
Keeps 3 weeks refrigerated in a sterile jar and freezes for 6 months. If it sets too firm, loosen with a little hot water.
