Tamrind Paste

Though now a days, we get ready made Tamrind pastes from brands like Homemade or Mallika Home Products, still it is better to prepare our own Tamrind Paste at home. This tamrind paste is helpful for south Indian dishes like Sambar, Rasam, Puli kootu etc.



Ingredients

Tamrind - 1/4 kg

Hot water - 1/2 ltr



Method

Soak the tamrind in hot water for half an hour. And when the water is warm enough, use the mixer and grinder to extract the tamrind juice and store it in an air tight container. The extract can be stored in fridge for about half an hour
