Ginger-Tamarind Chutney (Inji Puli)John Kernick
This tart and spicy condiment is always served with a Sadhya feast. It is especially nice mixed with plain rice and yogurt as a palate cleanser. This recipe is part of our menu for Sadhya, a South Indian feast.
Cooks' Notes:
•Indian ingredients can be mail-ordered from Kalustyans.com.
•Chutney keeps, chilled, 2 weeks. Rewarm before serving.
