SWEET TAMARIND CHUTNEY

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

Ingredients

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.

Tips:

Choose ripe tamarinds: Look for tamarinds with a dark brown, leathery shell and no signs of mold or damage.
Soak tamarinds in hot water: This will help to soften the tamarinds and make them easier to work with.
Remove the seeds: Once the tamarinds are soft, break them open and remove the seeds.
Use a food processor or blender: This will help to puree the tamarinds and make a smooth chutney.
Add spices and sugar to taste: The amount of spices and sugar you add will depend on your personal preference.
Simmer the chutney until it thickens: This will help to develop the flavors and make the chutney more shelf-stable.

Conclusion:

Sweet tamarind chutney is a versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes.
