Pineapple Tamarind Chutney Recipes

SWEET TAMARIND CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Add seedless tamarind in a pan and add 1.5 (12 oz) cups water to it.Put it on heat and bring to boil. As soon as it comes to boil, turn off heat, cover the pan with a plate and let it remain like that for 25 to 30 minutes.
• Then transfer mixture to a blender and blend to a fine paste.
• Sieve the mixture using a strainer to get rid of all the fiber. Add additional 1/2 cup (4 oz) water while sieving the mixture.
• Now heat oil in a kadai/wok on medium heat. Add cumin seeds and hing and let the cumin seeds splutter.
• Add in the prepared tamarind paste and mix. I added 1/4 cup (2 oz) more water here (so total water added is 2 1/4 cups= 1.5 cups (initially) + 1/2 cup (while sieving) + 1/4 cup (after adding tamarind paste to pan). Mix well.
• Add jaggery, sugar and mix until the jaggery and sugar dissolve, around 2 to 3 minutes.
• Then add cumin powder, kashmiri red chili powder, kala namak, salt, ginger powder and red chili powder. Mix everything well.
• Simmer the chutney on medium heat for around 6 minutes until the chutney thickens. Taste test and adjust sweetness accordingly. Also you can simmer more for thicker chutney. I don't like it super thick so this was perfect for me.Let the chutney cool down and then store in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator. Serve sweet tamarind chutney with samosa, chaats etc.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds, ginger, cayenne pepper, fennel seeds, asafoetida powder, and garam masala; cook and stir for about 2 minutes to release the flavors.
• Stir the water into the pan with the spices along with the sugar and tamarind paste. Bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat until the mixture turns a deep chocolaty brown and is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. This should take 20 to 30 minutes. The sauce will be thin, but it will thicken upon cooling.

APPLE, DATE & TAMARIND CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Tip all the ingredients, into a preserving pan. Warm over a low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Turn up the heat a little, then let the mixture boil until the Bramley apples have broken down to a pulp, but the eating apples still hold their shape. Stir occasionally to stop the chutney from sticking. This can take from 45 mins to 1 hr. You can tell that it is ready by running your wooden spoon through the mixture. Your spoon should briefly leave a channel in the mixture, and there shouldn't be liquid pooling into the space.
• Whilst the chutney cooks, sterilise your jars (see tip, below). When the chutney is ready, pot the mixture into the jars. Can be eaten within a few days, but is best left for a few weeks to mellow and mature. Will keep for at least a year.

Reduce the heat to medium, and cook until the sauce is thick and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon to prevent scorching and to encourage the flavors to mingle.
• Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chaat masala, ground ginger and kala namak. Transfer the chutney to a food processor or blender and blend on high speed until smooth, adding a little water if needed to create a thick but pourable consistency.
