Ingredients :
3 tablespoons 1 cup 1 teaspoon 2 teaspoons 1 teaspoon 1/2 teaspoon 2 teaspoons	Dried tamarind pulp Hot water Salt Black or brown sugar Ground cumin Ground fennel Finely grated fresh ginger Lemon juice to taste Pinch chili powder, optional

Then strain through a fine nylon sieve, pushing all the pulp through. If necessary, add a little more water to assist in getting all the pulp from the seeds. Add salt, sugar and other ingredients to the tamarind and stir to mix well. Taste and add more salt if necessary, lemon juice to sharpen the flavor and if liked, a small pinch of chili powder.
