GOAN CUISINE: Tamarind Chutney – 270g

The sweet-sour-spicy chutney that wakes up the whole plate

Tangy, jammy and with a proper kick — Goan Cuisine's Tamarind Chutney strikes a fine balance between the sweet and sour of tamarind and apricot, then lands a serious hit of chilli on the finish. It's the dipping-and-drizzling jar you'll want next to anything off the grill. Proudly Australian made.

The flavour

Sweet apricot and sour tamarind up front, deep and sticky, then a genuine chilli warmth to finish. Complex and lively — sweet, sharp and spicy all at once.

How to use it

• Serve as a dipping sauce for samosas, spring rolls and pakoras.
• Spoon alongside grilled and barbecued meats — it cuts through rich, smoky char beautifully.
• Serve with curry and rice as a bright, tangy condiment.
• Stir a little into dressings or glazes for a sweet-sour-spicy lift.

In the jar

A dark, glossy, sticky chutney — thick and spoonable, packed with tamarind depth.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Smuggler's move: rub chicken thighs with Blackbear BBQ Chicken Rub or pork with Sin's Q Grunt Cherry Pork Rub, grill them hard, then serve this tamarind chutney on the side for dunking. The sweet-sour-chilli cuts straight through the smoke. Rub the meat, dip in the chutney.
