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.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons tamarind concentrate
1 cup hot water
1 teaspoon<

Condiment
Vegan
Gluten-free

Method

Combine the tamarind concentrate and hot water in a bowl and allow to cool. Stir in the remaining ingredients.
Serve as a condiment with Shark and Bake, Meat Patties, or any other savory turnover or fritter. Store in a glass jar with a tight lid.
