Ingredients:

• 1 cup tamarind pulp
• 1 cup jaggery or brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon roasted cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon black salt

2. Stir until the jaggery melts and the mixture starts to thicken.
3. Add the roasted cumin powder, red chili powder, black salt, and chaat masala. Mix well.
4. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chutney reaches a thick, sauce-like consistency.
5. Remove from heat and let it cool. The chutney will thicken further as it cools down.
