How to Make Imli (Tamarind) Chutney

  1. 1

    Soak the tamarind in warm water for 15 minutes, then squeeze out the pulp and strain, discarding seeds and fibre.

  2. 2

    Simmer the tamarind pulp with 2 cups water and the Anveshan Jaggery Powder on medium heat until the Anveshan jaggery dissolves.

  3. 3

    Add the roasted cumin, dry ginger, red chilli powder and black salt; simmer 8–10 minutes until it thickens to a pouring-syrup consistency.

Tips for the Best Imli (Tamarind) Chutney

  • Strain the tamarind pulp well — any fibre or seed makes the chutney gritty.
  • It thickens a lot as it cools, so pull it off the heat while still slightly runny.
