Ingredients:

250g tamarind (imli) paste
400g sugar
salt, to taste
1/2 tsp hot chilli powder
2cm piece of ginger, peeled

Method:

Soak the tamarind paste in lukewarm water until it softens. Remove from the water then rub between your fingers to remove any pieces of seed. Strain all the juice into a pan then place on low heat and bring to a boil. Add the salt and chilli powder and stir continuously on low heat until the mixture begins to thicken. Add the ginger and keep cooking until the mixture reaches a thick chutney-like consistency.

Remove from the heat, take out the ginger then pour into a sterilized jar that's been warmed in an oven pre-heated to 120°C for 15 minutes.
