Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
