Ingredients
•
1 tablespoon canola oil
•
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
•
1 teaspoon ground ginger
•
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
•
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
•
1/2 teaspoon asafoetida powder
•
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
•
2 cups water
•
1 1/8 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.
