Tamarind - Date Chutney image

Provided by Lorrie in Montreal

Categories Chutneys

Time 25m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 -10 large dates, pits removed
3/4 cup jaggery (Indian unrefined sugar) or 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 1/2 cups water
4 tablespoons tamarind paste
1/4 teaspoon hot chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground garam masala
3/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Place the sugar, dates and water in a saucepan over medium heat.
Bring to a boil and simmer for about 7-8 minutes, until the dates are very soft.
Stir in the tamarind.
Very carefully, pour the ingredients into a blender, clamp the lid down tight and blend until smooth (or blend in the pot with an immersion/stick blender).
Return the mixture to the pot and boil until thick enough to thinly coat the back of a spoon (the chutney will thicken more as it cools).
Stir in the spices and salt.
Taste for seasoning: the chutney should be equal parts sweet, salty and sour.
Add more tamarind, sugar or salt if any of these needs a boost.
Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.
