Soak tamarind and dates in a bowl of water until they soften (3-4 hours) Squeeze out the junk and boil with a bit of salt and chili powder plus a sprinkling of red chili flakes. Taste and adjust! I normally don't need to add sugar because the sweetness of the dates is enough to sweeten this sauce, but you can omit the dates and use sugar or gur to your taste. Dates are of course a healthier option. :)

For every half cup of tamarind pulp, use three-quarter cup of dates. Then you can adjust the taste to your preference.

About 2 weeks in the fridge, up to a month in the freezer.
