In a saucepan, combine the strained tamarind pulp, jaggery, and water.

Cook over medium to low heat for 5-7 minutes until the jaggery dissolves.

Add cumin seeds, black salt, red chili flakes, and regular salt to taste.

Simmer for about 6 minutes.

Blend the mixture in a blender until smooth, adjusting with boiling water if it becomes too thick.

Optionally, add 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds.

Transfer to a clean, dry container and refrigerate for 2-3 months.
