Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Tamarind paste
- 1 cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine tamarind paste and water. Stir thoroughly to dissolve the tamarind paste into the water, creating a smooth mixture.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add erythritol or monk fruit sweetener to the saucepan. Stir well until the sweetener is fully dissolved, ensuring no granules remain.
Mix in the ground cumin, ground coriander, ground ginger, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir to combine all the spices evenly.
Allow the chutney to simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture will thicken slightly as it cooks. If it thickens too much, you can add a tablespoon of water at a time to adjust the consistency.
Once cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and let the chutney cool for a few minutes.
Transfer the chutney to a serving bowl or an airtight container. It can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
