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)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine tamarind paste and water. Stir thoroughly to dissolve the tamarind paste into the water, creating a smooth mixture.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 3

Add erythritol or monk fruit sweetener to the saucepan. Stir well until the sweetener is fully dissolved, ensuring no granules remain.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and let the chutney cool for a few minutes.

Step 7

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.
