Sweet Tamarind Chutney
canola oil |

cumin seeds |
|
ground ginger |

cayenne pepper |
|
fennel seeds |
|
asafoetida powder |

water |

Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds, ginger, cayenne pepper, fennel seeds, asafoetida powder, and garam masala; cook and stir for about 2 minutes to release the flavors.
Stir the water into the pan with the spices along with the 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.
