Heat a pan in medium flame with about 1 cup of water and add the dates, jaggery. Stir well until the jaggery is dissolved. Now, add all the spice powders, salt and continue to cook until the water boils. Once the dates is soft, add the tamarind extract to the pan and mix well. Once it again starts to boil, turn the flame to low and let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until the raw flavor of the tamarind is gone. Turn off the flame and bring it to room temperature.
