Squeeze the tamarind with fingers to break it up; push through a sieve held over a bowl, rubbing as much of the pulp through as possible.
Scrape the back of the sieve to collect all the pulp remaining there.
Stir in the pureed raisins and all the remaining ingredients. Blend the mixture well, cover and let stand at room temperature for several hours.
Serve with fried foods and savory pastries. It will keep in the refrigerator several days.
