Sweet Tamarind Chutney image

This is a Gordon Ramsey recipe that I found to go with the Morrocan Stuffed Chicken & Roasted fennel recipe I have posted on here. Though this chutney is of Indian cuisine it goes very well with both Indian & North African dishes. You can store this up to 3 days before using, and in my opinion aking it up in advance not only is easier, but tastes extra lovely too. *** You can use soft brown sugar OR jaggery.. RZ wont recognise jaggery so I have listed ingredient as soft brown sugar.

Time 35m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

200 g tamarind pulp
400 ml hot water
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 teaspoon coriander seed
1 teaspoon red chili powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
100 g brown soft sugar
30 g dates, pitted

Steps:

  • Using your hands break the block of Tamarind down into smaller pieces first.
  • Soak the tamarind in the hot water for 20 minutes.
  • Once softened, strain the mixture through a fine sieve and discard the husks and seeds.
  • Place a frying pan over a medium heat and add the cumin and coriander seeds. Dry roast them for a minute, then tip the spices into a bowl.
  • Place the chilli powder, salt, jaggery or sugar and dates into a blender. Add the roasted cumin and coriander seeds and 2 tablespoons of water and blend to a fine puree.
  • Scrape the puree into a bowl and mix in the tamarind extract.
  • Stir well and add a little water if you think the chutney is too thick (it should have a thin pouring consistency).
  • Cool completely, store in the fridge and eat within 3 days.
