Tamarind, the sour that holds a dish together

Lemon sharpens and disappears. Tamarind sits underneath and holds everything together — the reason sambar tastes like sambar. Reduced to a concentrate, so one spoon does the work.

What people tell us

Tamarind Puree that isn't too saucy. Very tasty.

This is terrific. I use it in various Asian dishes. It has very good flavor and accents recipes I use it in very well.

It smelled wonderful and made for a quick and easy meal

I had the Channa Masala sauce for dinner tonight. I simmered some potatoes in it and served over basmati rice. It smelled wonderful and made for a quick and easy meal.
