How To Make Trini Tamarind Chutney | Foodie Nation

Chef Jason teaches Kezzianne how to make Trinbagonian Tamarind Chutney/Sauce:
Yield: 18 - 20 Ounces
INGREDIENTS
1 Lb Fresh Tamarind (About 12 - 14 pieces)
5 Cloves of Garlic, finely minced
4 Cups Water
2 Tsp Salt
½ Tsp Amchar Masala
2 Tbsp Green Seasoning
1 ¼ Cups Brown Sugar
2 Tsp Minced Chadon Beni (Culantro)
METHOD
1. Break the shells of the tamarind to reveal the inner fruit. Remove any of the woody veins that run across the fruit and discard shells. Place fruit into a clean bowl and wash to remove any cracked shell debris.
2. Place a medium sauce pan over high heat and add the water, garlic, cleaned tamarind fruit, salt, amchar masala, green seasoning and brown sugar.
3. Cover, bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer to cook for 15 minutes.
4. Using a swizzle stick, vigorously swizzle the tamarind in the hot liquid to remove the pulp from the fruit. Continue doing this until the all the fruit breaks apart and thickens the liquid. This may take about 5 - 6 minutes.
5. Continue to simmer the tamarind sauce for an additional 12 - 15 minutes to allow the tamarind liquid to reduce by half.
6. At this point, you can strain the tamarind liquid to get rid of the seeds and minimal fibers and return the tamarind liquid back to the pot. (The straining is purely optional)
7. Be sure to taste the sauce, and depending on how sour the fruit is; you may need to add more sugar to sweeten it up a bit. You are looking for a balanced flavor of sweet and tart with enough savoriness from the salt.
8. Once consistency of the sauce has thickened and evaporated by half, add the minced chadon beni in and stir to combine.
9. Remove the tamarind chutney from the stove and let cool.
10. Use this sauce as an accompaniment to Pholourie, Saltfish Accra or even as a great sauce for Fried Fish.

Ok so for those of you who want to make it for other people or to sell. I don't suggest using the 4 cups of water all at once especially for only 1 lb of tamarind. Use two cups first. The description says 4 cups but it will come out very watery. Also 1lb of tamarind doesn't mean it's exactly one lb. Remember the shells are being measured along with it. I had to use 2 boxes of "1 lb" tamarind. If you don't want your sauce to remain with pulp or the with seasoning, strain it. Your sauce will still come out thick and nice. I'm a third generation child so I used this video to help me make tamarind sauce and it came out delicious. For the 4 cups of water I used 3 lbs of tamarind.

[@user-yi6rb4ij9u]

Re: cleaning outer shell, I pull of the head, tambran is almost clear of skin , then using the end of the fork pullout the pulp, and remove if any little shell left. Find it has less work, less messy, and less touching of the tambran pulp.

[@scarletfrancois3469]

When do I add my hot pepper if I wanted it spicy?

You can add it after you swizzle the Chutney - this will allow you to control the heat better.

[@tatemecham2484]

Could you make a Mango chutney out of this same recipe?

[@SLAMSwan]

Could I use a whisk in lieu of a swizzle stick?

I swear my great grandmother, yes I grew up with her around for a bit, said "tamarind" all three ways simultaneously. She never said any word accurately. Lol Nice video, and wonderful recipe. I love tamarind in basically anything.

Can I get the written ingredients you used. Also, I came across a tamarind powder in an Indian grocery store, how would you use it in place of the actual tamarind in your recipe. Thanks

Would this be good on doubles?
