Time 10m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups canned chick-peas, rinsed (or cook your own)
3 tablespoons tahini (I do feel quality of tahini can make or break)

1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger (or to taste)
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
fresh lemon juice, to taste (optional, I use this)
minced garlic, to taste (optional, I recommend only a small amount to let the tamarind shine)
1 tablespoon cilantro leaves (fresh coriander) or 1 tablespoon flat leaf parsley
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (I recommend unrefined, has a better flavour and is much healthier)
water (if needed)

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients, except coriander or parsley and olive oil, in a food processor and process into a somewhat thick paste, adding a little water as necessary.
  • Taste and adjust flavours to taste.
  • Place on a serving platter and sprinkle with fresh coriander or chopped parsley and extra virgin olive oil just before serving.

Tamarind Cashew Sauce (Dip or Sauce...lots of Variations) image

I've made it as a sauce for everything from fresh veggies, fresh fruit (especially apples), to lettuce wraps. Also makes great sauce for main dish of meat, chicken or seafood. I've also made a great pita sandwich using the sauce with chicken and apples! Inspired by Cheesecake Factory's dipping sauce! Takes about 15-20 mins to prepare depending on kitchen efficiency, but allow a minimum of 30 mins to cool and set.

Imli Aur Dhaniye Ki Hari Chutney (Tamarind & Cilantro Dip) image

Before posting this recipe I checked recipezaar to see if it was already posted. There are many chutney recipes with either coriander or tamarind or even both ingredients but none of them has the core ingredient crushed red peppers. This chutney is spicy & sour at the same time. It can be stored in a tight lid jar for almost a month in the fridge. Enjoy it with snacks or just plain kababs or Kichdi.
