Time 2h15m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup tamarind paste
1/2 cup dates, deseeded
2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup brown sugar or 3/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Place the jaggery, dates and water in a deep boiling pan for about 2 hours.
  • After the dates become smooth, blend in a mixer till smooth.
  • Strain and transfer to the pan again.
  • Add the tamarind paste and seasoning.
  • Boil till thick enough to coat the back of a spoon thinly.
  • Cool again. Store in clean airtight bottles and refrigerate.
  • Shelf life of about a month in the refrigerator.
  • * Here, I have used tamarind paste. But in case you do not have tamarind, soak the tamarind in water and extract its paste.
  • What I usually do is use dry tamarind powder which I get from Indian grocery stores.
