About

Although also called a “chutney,” this is really a smooth sauce. As with other tamarind recipes in this book, I use tamarind concentrate rather than going through the hassle of reconstituting fresh pods or dried paste.

Method

Combine the tamarind concentrate and hot water in a bowl and allow to cool. Stir in the remaining ingredients.
