Drizzle this chutney over cassava cakes for a little heat and sweetness. Get the recipe for Bammy (Cassava Cakes) here.
Pantry note: Tamarind paste comes fresh or frozen; with or without sweetener; sieved or with pulp and pits included. If you can’t find sieved paste for the chutney, one with pulp and pits will work; just sieve the pits out.
