Tamarind chutney

Imli (Tamarind) Chutney
Ingredients:
250gms Tamarind (Imli)
300gms Jaggery (Gur) grated
1 tbsp Roasted cumin Powder
2 tsp Red chili powder
Salt To Taste
2 tsp Black salt

1. Soak imli in 5 cups of water for minimum 2 hours to soften it. Mash the imli with your hand to extract its pulp. Strain and put it in a saucepan. 
2. Bring imli pulp to boil and add all the other ingredients. 
3. Continue to cook on medium heat till jaggery dissolves completely and chutney thickens and becomes glossy. 
4. Keep in mind that it thickens more on cooling so cook only to the level that will cool to the desired consistency. 
5. Cool and store in a glass jar in the refrigerator. Keeps for a month.
