Tamarind paste recipe with step by step pictures. Everyday basic ingredient in south indian cooking is now easily made at home. This makes your everyday cooking very convenient.
Tamarind is such a basic ingredient in indian cooking. No recipe is complete without this awesome fruit. The tartness in this makes any gravy spectacular. The one hard thing is extracting the juice from this. Soaking it and then squeezing the pulp and straining it. I really find it hard when you have no time on hand. So i came up with a homemade pulp recipe which makes your life so easier.
It is very easy to make too. You can keep this jar in freezer and use it as you like..This tamarind pulp doesn’t freezer rock hard, it freezes hard but you can scrape as mush you need from this. I hope you will love it as much as i do and ask me if you need any help.
