Tamarind


Turning a block of taramind pods into a puree ready for use is as simply adding water.



I use 1/2 a block at a time


Put the half block of tamarind in bowl and cover with boiling water from the jug.  Probably a cup.  Let it soften for a few minutes and then break and mix up with a fork.


Once it becomes loose strain it through a sieve, push it through with a back of a spoon.


After the first straining I put the pod mixture back into the original bowl and add just a little bit more boiling water to get the last of the puree through.  Now it is ready for use.
