Take them out and put them on kitchen paper towel. Let them completely cool down (otherwise they will become soggy) before you put them into an airtight container.

Then add red chilli powder, ginger powder, roasted cumin seed, citric acid, black salt, 1 jug water and salt, mix well. Cook until just boil, then remove from the cooker and let it cool down. Put it in the fridge to cool down.
Tamarind Chutney:
Remove the seeds from tamarind and soak it in warm water for one hour. Then tamarind pulp strain it and add jaggery, ginger powder, roasted cumin powder, black salt and salt, mix well. Put the mixture in a pan and heat for 5 minutes on medium heat. Remove from heat and let it cool down. if consistency is too thick then add a little bit of water.
