tamarind paste
Tangy tropical concentrate
Tamarind paste is a thick, concentrated preparation made from the pulp of tamarind fruit.
It has a distinctively sour, slightly sweet flavor used in Southeast Asian, Indian, and Latin American cooking: The pad thai needs more tamarind paste.
It adds tangy depth to curries, sauces, chutneys, and marinades.
Sold in jars or blocks, the paste saves the step of soaking and straining whole tamarind pods.
