Priya - Tamarind Paste - 300g

Priya Tamarind Paste is concentrated tamarind ready to use straight from the jar, with no soaking, squeezing or straining of pulp. It is plain sour, with no spices added, so it goes into anything that calls for tamarind without changing the rest of the seasoning.

Best for

• Sambar, rasam and vatha kuzhambu
• Chutneys, sauces and chaat
• Tamarind rice and fish curries

Using it

Start with half a teaspoon dissolved in a little warm water for a pot of sambar or rasam for four, and adjust at the end once the dal is in, since tamarind reads stronger in a thin liquid than a thick one. Give it a few minutes of cooking; uncooked tamarind tastes flat and slightly harsh. For chutneys and sauces use it undiluted, a quarter-teaspoon at a time.

Pack and storage

300g jar. Store in a cool, dry place; keep sealed and refrigerated after opening.
