How to use tamarind
The simplest way is to buy tamarind paste and use this to make sauces, marinades, curries and other dishes such as pad Thai. If using a compressed block, tear off the required amount and soak in warm water for 10 minutes. Then mix it together, strain through a sieve, throw away the pulp and use the liquid. For tamarind concentrate, mix 15ml of tamarind with 4-6 tbsp of warm water.
