Tamarind Chutney by ShowMeTheCurry

[ruchitamadan23]

Hello ladies..

both of you do a wonderful job..

I have one query..

Can you please tell me, what quantity of tamarind would be good for this?

and do i need to soak the tamarind in the luke warm water and get the pulp out of it? (leaving the seeds behind)..for what time, should i be soaking the tamarind?

just tell me the exact procedure for this chutney, using tamarind.

Thanks in advance..

[HariniKuruganty]

i tried thiss recipe and iit was yummmmmmmy. the best part is it is so easy to make. thank you ladies!

[Boriquaman76]

How long can you store this in the fridge for? 

[aditi1998]

I don't understand, is this like the normal spicy chutneys we have or is it a sour-sweet one? Also, can I substitute tamrind paste with tamrind itself? What does the chutney go with?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@aditi1998 : This one is sweet, tangy and a little spice (to taste). Yes, you can use tamarind instead of the tamarind paste. It is a dipping sauce and is very versatile. You can have it with samosas, pakodas and in chaat items.

[muthashipconxon]

Nice video. How would you alter the recipe if using liquid tamarind concentrate?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@muthashipconxon : Liquid Tamarind Concentrate is good - half your work is already done! You will need to add lesser water and dilute the concentrate to where it's a smooth consistency and there are no lumps and follow the recipe.

@TheSugarplum770 You guys are the best. Look fwd to seeing the video. Thanks much.

[TheSugarplum770]

Hey there! Can you guys show me how to make snow cones aka barf ka gola. I am craving for one. I looked for it here in Austin, but had no luck.  Some nice kachi Keri, kalakhatta flavor would be yum yum yum

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@TheSugarplum770 : You are making our mounts water - think you should just come to Dallas (Taj Grocers) when you feel like having a gola :) But we will put that on our list :)

[sonu24kk]

How many days or months i can keep this in refrigerator?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@sonu24kk

At least 3-4 months.

[PhantomAct]

Can i mix some of the cooled down mixture to some pickled chillies?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@PhantomAct

We have never tried it but it sounds interesting.

[t29017155]

I dont like the way you pronounce certain indian words, Hetal - it has got a very mocking undertone

[HeavenFruit099]

Mmmm!!!!'thank you very much it is deicious! I ate a lots samosas about 8. Thank you.

[TheMimi90s]

human and funel seeds...wotda...

[shima2145]

you dont list gharam masala on your ingredients, I am confused should I add it or not?

[toofar2go1]

wat is jaggery??

ay optional.....

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@toofar2go1

Jaggery is a type of unrefined cane sugar. You can try brown sugar or dates.

[toofar2go1]

@ShowMeTheCurry mmm thnk X

[latseyesonu]

you can even add little ginger and chilli pdr it goes well with it

[therealhardrivedave]

I am in love with this show! I made this with Naan and also the lamb curry recipe and it was fantastic... It blew my family away it was sooooo good!!!

[aprilcalldispatch]

is this something you could use for a poori? or would that be sweet tamarind chutney? is there a difference? I had pani pooris at a place called surati farsi market. The pooris were nice a crispy, and they gave us a green spicy water (pani?) and a sweet brown sauce which I'm assuming is something akin to this

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Yes, you can use this tamarind chutney for pani puri.

[bindusrichandan]

hi hetal n anuja,

[ktrini1953]

take fresh tamrind peel of skin remove seed add suger salt and hot fresh pepper as much as you will like add afew grains garlic ,add water as thick as you will need your sauce blend together this is how i make my chutney no cooking try it

[UmmAftaab]

thanks so much for that recipe !

[manishachadha7]

I tried this recipe but the raw flavour of tamarind paste did not go even after cooking for long.

[sninias]

Nice recipe, i just tried it today and it came out awsome. Though i used to make it before with almost the same recipe, i didnt try it for some time now.

I have one question, can this chutney be freezed? I just made it in too much quantity which is not consumable even in two months.

plz reply asap coz i already stored it in refrigrator..

Congratulation on ur wonderful work.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Tamarind does not freeze, but you can keep it in the fridge for months and months without spoiling.

[ahrentzen100]

Yes, you can freeze it.

[TooLooseLeTrek]

The jaggery I buy comes in blocks. I've tried grating it with the same mini-scrapper I use for ginger. It doesn't work so well. How do you break apart those blocks? Thanks.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

We use a big grate scraper and it works really well. You can also put the block into a ziploc bag and pound it with something heavy (similar to a mortar/pestal) to crumble it.

[marinamermaid]

Now that I learned all what goes into this chutney, I'll have to try it out.

[AJ9211]

cool. never though of cooking it, we usually just soak in water and sieve through to get tamarind paste like you did in your sambar.

I complained to my mum once about using sugar or jaggery, it was too sweet and diddn't compliment. I suggested to her to try and add a date paste and this was gorgeous. now we always use dates as it gives a different kind of sweetness that works with the tamarind. and since we have even tried just a date chutney which is also fab.

[anjaligupta01]

u guys r wonderfull.....

thanks for the yummy yummy chutney...

i love it.....

[deadbeatdad]

At the store they sell Tamarind Concentrate which is about the consistency of jam. The paste you are using seems much thicker. Do I use the concentrate straight or do I dilute it like your'e doing with the paste?

[jpm000001]

So this is what all the indian guys' wives do while their husbands program all day?

[kashifzgr]

@jpm000001

Yes our wives make mouth watering food while your wife and the Mailman are !!! you know.

[Prita51]

Is brown sugar a good substitute to jaggery?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

You could use brown sugar - the taste is pretty good. One thing we noticed...once you keep the chutney in the refrigerator, the sugar tends to crystallize. You could put it in the microwave for a few seconds and it is fine. The chutney made with jaggery does not crystallize.

[Prita51]

ok..thats a good tip...Will addition of lime juice prevent crystallization of sugar.I remember my mom telling me that addition of lime juce to sugar syrup tends to prevents it from crystallization...Does this work here as well or will it change the taste of the chutney?

Thanks for your prompt reply..

[Imaginaryflower]

yes, it works fine

[Daikamaitachi]

I showed this to my mother an she can't stop making it. She loves it! Thanks so much for the recipe! Keep up the wonderful work.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Sorry Nains,

I was trying to reply to your comment and I accidentally removed it instead :(.

When trying to thicken the chutney, you should thicken it only to where it sticks to your spoon. It will seem too thin at the time but will thicken when it cools. If you try to thicken it on the stove to exactly how you want it, it will definitely become too thick or "wax" like you said. Hope you try it again.

[EsmaJumervoski]

I like to use tablehspoon extra cumin and fennel seed ground for robust flavor. Chutney is a family favorite. Have you watch manjula kitchen? I have fan video for Manjula-ji! Thank you for recipe I try all the time.

[Chillypepper24x7]

Great tamarind chutney. May be the quantity of water could be half, so as to save time and thicken faster.

[NeverisaPromise7]

Tamarind paste- wow, I never thought of using that. I will next time though!

[gretchende]

Simply Awesome!

[menyenye]

whoaa,,this is waaay more practical than the traditional way to make one!!I'm definitely gonna try it

[shantarao]

Both tamarind chutney and mint chutney are excellent.Hetal and ANUJA are good at demonstrating the techniques of cooking paying attention to dtails.
