Date and tamarind Chutney
Soak tamarind in 1 cup hot water.
Remove seeds and strain the pulp in a steel saucepan. add some water to fully squeeze out the pulp.
Chop dates and add it to the tamarind pulp. Add 1/2 cup water and bring it to a boil.
Reduce heat and let it simmer. Add the remaining ingredients. Cook till the dates get softened.
Remove from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Blend the chutney with an immersion hand blender or in a stand blender till you get the desired consistency (its ok if there are any small pieces of dates left). Add more water if you like it thin.
Transfer in a glass bottle. You can keep this chutney for about a month in the fridge.
