Recipe Tamarind (Imli) Chutney

[rascal]

My Indian shop carry it. I usually have about 3 in stock as I'm scared the shop will stop stocking it.
My whole family love it.

Thank you KK! Tomorrow is "peel" day!!!

rascal I'll have to get through these "things" and see where I'm at. I've found where I can order the paste but it's 3X more than what I paid for what I've got so I'll have to see how long it takes; probably Vodka dependant...

Packet like that should take you about 2-vodkas. ie - 10 minutes

So badjak is there a method for getting the pulpy part off the seed? Mine are all pretty uniformly stuck together. Never had these before so don't know!

Kk beat me to it.
But yes, peel.
Then throw the pips etc in water and boil. Cool, then rub the "meat" off the pips. Most will be off already
Through a sieve and use.
You can throw new water on the debris as sort of 2nd runnings

Freshly reaped tamarind

Turned into "sauce", I normally cook it in a bit

Processing the tamarind to make the chutney. Mine are a bit dried but I've found that by soaking in warm water they come right apart!

You'll find a way that works for you.

Got sticky fingers yet?

Past that! Out of the 1.25 lbs/0.6 kilos of fruit that I bought I ended up with 17 oz. of pulp once deseeded. It's mighty tasty good for sure! I subbed cranberries for the raisins and gochugaru for the pepper powder.
