Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon fennel seeds
½ teaspoon asafoetida powder
½ teaspoon garam masala
2 cups water
1 ⅛ cups white sugar
3 tablespoons tamarind paste
Directions
Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds, ginger, cayenne pepper, fennel seeds, asafoetida powder, and garam masala; cook and stir for about 2 minutes to release the flavors.
Stir water into the pan with the spices along with sugar and tamarind paste. Bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat until the mixture turns a deep chocolaty brown and is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. This should take 20 to 30 minutes. The sauce will be thin, but it will thicken upon cooling.
