Geeta Tamarind Chutney

I first used a tablespoon or two of this in in a tofu/veggie stir-fry, and was hooked from the first taste. It adds a sour and hot kick, but it has a much more complex flavor than simple lemon and pepper. It complements the flavor of foods even in small quantities, as it is quite strong and rich. It is fantastic not only in cooking, but also directly on crackers, in sandwiches, etc.

There is no substitute; I can hardly stand to cook when I've run out!
