Ingredients
- 1 piece of tamarind, the size of a large tangerine
- 6 Tbsp. Sugar, or possibly to taste
- 3/4 tsp Salt
- 1 1/2 tsp Roasted grnd cumin
- 1/8 tsp Cayenne pepper (up to 1/4)
- 1 Tbsp. Golden brown raisins, soaked in warm water for 2 hrs
- 1 x Ripe but hard banana, peeled
Directions
- Here is a recipe for a Tamarind Chutney with Bananas and Raisins, it's called Imli Ki Meethi Chutney and is a family recipe of Madhur Jaffery.
- Break up the tamarind into small pcs and soak them overnight in 2/3 c. warm water in a small nonmetallic bowl or possibly c. so pcs are covered. The next morning, mash the soaked tamarind in the water, making a thick, uneven pulp using your hands or possibly the back of a wooden spoon. Place a strainer over a nonmetallic, or possibly stainless steel bowl. Put the tamarind pulp in the strainer, and press down with the back of a wooden spoon. Keep pressing till nothing but fibrous tissues and seeds are left in the strainer. Put the fibrous tissues and seeds in a clean bowl and add in another 2 Tbsp. of warm water. Mash some more. Put back in the strainer and strain some more. Throw away the strained pulp on the outside of the strainer - it doesn't always drip down. (This is the basic tamarind paste and may be frzn.) Mix the strained pulp with the sugar, salt, cumin, and cayenne, tasting as you go to get a perfect balance of flavors. (This is the basic tamarind chutney and may be frzn.) A couple of Tbsp. of this chutney can be spooned over yogurt relishes for an added sweet and sour taste.) Drain the raisins and add in them to the chutney. Just before eating, cut the banana into 1/4 - 1/3 inch thick slices and mix with the tamarind pulp.
