- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons fennel seeds

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