Spicy Peanut Sambal

3 chopped green chillies (like serranos, jalapenos or Thai bird chillies)

4 cloves garlic

1/4 cup smooth organic peanut butter

5 tsps tamari (or low-sodium soy sauce)

1 tbsp lime juice

1 tbsp thin tamarind pulp

**Adjust the quantity according to the type of tamarind you have. Fresh (sweet) tamarind is less sour than the older, drier variety.

If you have tamarind concentrate, you’d need less than a teaspoon.

4 tsps powdered jaggery or brown sugar (maple syrup works too)

2 tbsps or more water
