"This curry was like a performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony that I'd once heard.....especially the last movement, with everything screaming and banging 'Joy.' It stunned, it made one fear great art. My father could say nothing after the meal."
Anthony Burgess

Where life is colorful and varied, religion can be austere or unimportant. Where life is appallingly monotonous, religion must be emotional, dramatic and intense. Without the curry, boiled rice can be very dull."
C. Northcote Parkinson

Indian Tamarind Chutney

 

Ingredients

2 ml tamarind cake
3/4 cup boiling water
1/3 cup raisins
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp roasted, ground cumin seeds
1 tsp lemon juice
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon powdered hot red ch, ile pepper or caye
1 salt to taste



 

Preparation

Combine tamarind and boiling water; let soak for at least 1 hour.

Soak the raisins in 1/3 cup hot water for 1 hour. Puree the raisins
in a blender and set aside.

Squeeze the tamarind with fingers to break it up; push through a
sieve held over a bowl, rubbing as much of the pulp through as
possible.

Scrape the back of the sieve to collect all the pulp remaining there.
Stir in the pureed raisins and all the remaining ingredients. Blend
the mixture well, cover and let stand at room temperature for several
hours.

Serve with fried foods and savory pastries. It will keep in the
refrigerator several days.

Variation: Add thin slices of 1 banana and serve as a relish.
