The next day, remove the pulp from the seeds and strain it through a sieve to remove any remaining seeds.
In a pot on medium heat, pour in the Tamarind juice and sweeten it with brown sugar to your taste.
Add the minced onion, pepper, garlic, salt, and freshly grated ginger to the pot.
Give the mixture a stir and allow it to simmer until it thickens.
Once it has thickened to your liking, remove the pot from the heat.
