Tamarind Sauce

Tamarind paste is a concentrated, tangy-sweet paste made from the pulp of the tamarind fruit. It’s commonly used in cooking to add a distinctive sweet-sour flavor to various dishes. Tamarind paste is a staple ingredient in many cuisines around the world, including South Asian, Southeast Asian, Latin American, and Middle Eastern cooking.

The tamarind fruit is pod-like, and the pulp surrounding the seeds is what’s used to make the paste. This pulp is processed into a thick, dark brown paste that retains the fruit’s tangy taste.
