ayurvedic notes
Sour taste is juicy! It causes salivation and primes the gastric fluids. Spices improve digestion. Causes loose stools.
about
Achar means pickle in Bengali. Bengali's have a number of different pickles and chutneys using mangoes, tamarind, other fruits and spices. We love the sour, savory spiciness of tamarind achar. It is altogether over-stimulating!

preparation
Boil the tamarind in some water to loosen it if dried. Mix all ingredients together in quantities according to taste. Put enough oil to make it creamy, enough sugar to take away the sour. Put enough salt to bring out the flavor.

Cook on low heat for 6+hours. When done cover the top with oil to make a seal. Place on the windowsill for two weeks cooking in the sun. This achar tastes great with chicken, eggplant, or rice.
