Ingredients

2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon tamarind paste, or puree
⅔ cup honey
⅓ cup olive oil
⅓ cup fresh cilantro
¼ cup chopped cashews
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ginger paste
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon turmeric

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix together 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon tamarind paste, ⅔ cup honey, and ⅓ cup olive oil. Heat in the microwave until it has just come together smoothly, about 20 seconds.
Pour the vinegar, tamarind, and honey mixture into a food processor or blender along with ⅓ cup fresh cilantro, ¼ cup chopped cashews, 2 garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon ginger paste, ½ teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and ½ teaspoon turmeric.
Pulse until everything has blended together into a smooth, even consistency.
Pour the sauce into a bowl and enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

If you want the sauce to be more tart, add more tamarind paste. To sweeten it add more honey.
