Ingredients

1 tbsp canola oil

1 tsp cumin seeds

1 tsp ground ginger

0.5 tsp cayenne pepper

0.5 tsp fennel seeds

0.5 tsp asafoetida powder

0.5 tsp garam masala

2 cups water

1.125 cups white sugar

3 tbsp tamarind paste

Directions

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

Stir water, sugar, and tamarind paste into the pan with the spices. 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.
