Ingredients
- Equal quantities of dried tamarind and dried dates
- Boiling water
- Salt, sugar and chilli powder to taste
Method
- Soak the dates and tamarind in boiling water so it comes up to 2 in. above the solids.
- Leave overnight.
- Rub the mixture through a sieve with a wooden spoon and add salt, chilli powder and sugar, tasting all the while so you end up with a well-balanced sweet/sour/hot sauce.
