The finished Tamarind chutney is usually teamed up with a raita (yoghurt dip) some fresh salad, crunchy popodoms or sev noodles to make the perfect starter.

For this recipe, I have used tamarind concentrate as its’ widely available from the supermarket and once made, the dip will keep refrigerated for 5 days.

For a cheat version, if you find a ready made tamarind sauce, come tomato ketchup and fresh orange juice is great.

My dip is a basic one, a fruity, yet spicy, with a hint of tang, feel free to add mint, coriander, some grated carrot, onion, garlic, chilli, dates, apple just experiment to make a delicious dip, it’s perfect with samosas and bhajes.

    tamarind concentrate, from a jar

    sugar
  • the juice from 1 fresh orange
  • 1/2 Teaspoon
    garam masala

    I have always loved Indian cuisine and Tamarind chutney has been one of my favorites. When I tried Lajina Masala’s Tamarind chutney, it was like a burst of flavors in my mouth. The combination of sweet and tangy taste with a hint of spice is absolutely delightful. It is perfect to pair with samosas, pakoras, or as a dip for chips. Lajina Masala has done a great job in bringing authentic Indian flavors to their products. Definitely a must-try for all the foodies out there!
