EXCELLENT!!!
5 Stars
EXCELLENT!!!
I love this tamarind paste! I can't get any at my local grocery store so checked on Amazon. This is a good price for a great product, plus it's on Subscribe and Save so I'll never be without tamarind paste ever again! It's similar to the brand with the red label you can get at like Whole Foods etc., but I live too far away from one of those to bother with that other stuff. Try this, it's delicious!I also bought this company's hing (asoefetida), and it's very fragrant and amazing. So, overall I'm impressed with this brand so far and delighted I can get such high quality Indian ingredients on Amazon. Want a recipe for a quick tamarind chutney? Here you go:2 tablespoons tamarind paste2 tablespoons sugar (you might want to use simple syrup depending on the sugar, to cut down on any graininess. to make simple syrup just combine 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar in a pot, bring to a boil and wait a few seconds until it turns clear so all the sugar is dissolved. let cool then use 2 tablespoons and the rest for cocktails!)1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (more if you wish upon tasting it)1/4 teaspoon ground roasted cumin seeds (yes, roast and grind them yourself)Mix these ingredients together and let it sit in the fridge for at least an hour! The flavor develops into something magical! Now serve with any Indian food you like, I made dosas and potato filling, but also chickpea crepes with these on the side, we also had idlees with this chutney, and then put it on regular American pancakes! It's SO good, and the tamarind paste is the star. I love the packaging too, a box inside a box, very safe for the jar and cute for me!
Thank you for your feedback
