Tamarind Achar Fusion

1.In a bowl, combine the tamarind pulp and jaggery (or brown sugar). Mix well until the jaggery is fully dissolved in the tamarind.

2.Add the chopped cilantro, mint leaves, and finely chopped green chilies to the tamarind mixture. Stir to combine all the fresh herbs and chilies evenly.

3.In a small pan, heat the mustard oil until it starts to smoke slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool for a minute.

4.Once the oil is slightly cooled, pour it over the tamarind and herb mixture. Stir well to incorporate the oil into the achar.

5.Add the roasted cumin and fenugreek seeds, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

6.Finally, add the lemon juice and give the achar one last stir. Adjust salt and jaggery to taste if needed.

7.Transfer the Tamarind Achar Fusion to a clean glass jar and let it sit for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
