Ingredients:
2 cups peeled, ripe tamarind pods
2 tbs salt
2 cups granulated sugar
2 tbs freshly ground, roasted geera
1/2 hot pepper, seeded and minced (more or less to taste)
6 cloves garlic, minced
Method:
Put tamarind pods in a small saucepan and barely cover with boiling water. Let steep for 30 minutes or boil for five minutes. Use a potato crusher to separate the seeds from the pulp. Remove the seeds from the tamarind and discard. Add the salt, sugar, geera, pepper and garlic; stir to mix.
Bring the mixture to a boil and remove from heat. Cool, taste and adjust seasonings. The chutney should be slightly sour-sweet in taste
