Directions

1 Soak the tamarind in 2 cups of the vinegar. After 1/2 an hour, extract the pulp through a strainer and discard the seeds.
2 Grind the ginger, garlic, mustard seeds, red and green chillies in the remaining vinegar.
3 Boil the oil. After it comes to the boil remove from the heat for a few minutes, then add the ground spices and salt. Fry for 10 minutes.
4 Add capsicum, sugar and tamarind pulp.
5 Cook on a slow fire till the excess liquid evaporates and the oil floats to the top. This happens invariably; the chutney settles to the bottom and needs to be stirred to avoid burning and the oil forms a clear layer on top.
6 Cool, bottle and keep for a week before serving.
