¼ cup tightly packed dried tamarind pulp (about 2 ounces)
1 cup boiling water

| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Place the tamarind pulp in a small bowl and pour the boiling water over it. Stirring and mashing occasionally with a spoon, let the tamarind soak for 1 hour, or until the pulp separates and dissolves in the water.
|
2. Rub the tamarind through a fine sieve set over a bowl, pressing down hard with the back of a spoon before discarding the seeds and fibers. Or puree it through a food mill.
|
3. Add the ginger, lemon juice, jaggery (or brown sugar and molasses) and the salt to the puree, and stir together vigorously. Taste for seasoning.
|
4. Serve at once or cover tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just before serving, pour the chutney into a small bowl and sprinkle the top with coriander.
