  • About

The most refined way to use tamarind is to make tamarind liquid, getting maximum flavour without the coarse, fibrous texture of the pulp.

Ingredients

  • tamarind pulp
  • water

Method

Simmer 1 part tamarind pulp to 4 parts water for 30 minutes or so, then pass pulp and water through a coarse-meshed or conical sieve. Discard fibre and seeds. Refrigerate tamarind liquid for up to 1 month.
