Product details
This Tamarind Paste (or pulp or makham piak in Thai) is used in many Thai recipes. Tamarind paste is the pulp from the ripe pod of the tamarind tree (tamarindus indica), a native of India. The pods ripen from green to brown and inside are hard smooth brown seeds surrounded by sweet-tart, dark brownish-red sticky pulp. The pulp is separated from the seeds and fibers and then compressed into blocks (ma-kahm bpiak), to preserve it.
Tamarind is a seed pod with a unique sweet and sour flavour. It is a sticky fruit that grows in a pod on a tamarind tree. It is used mostly in Thai savoury dishes, Thai curries and seafood dishes. Classic Pad Thai sauce is made with tamarind. Indian curries also call for tamarind. It is also a common ingredient in Mexican cuisines, as well as Vietnamese, Latin, and Caribbean cooking. It is also a key ingredient in Worcestershire sauce, contributing to the distinctive tang.
To prepare compressed block tamarind, tear off the equivalent of 15ml and soak it in 150ml warm water for 10 mins. Mix it together and strain through a fine sieve. Throw away the pulp and use the liquid. Some cuisines also use tamarind to make desserts and even candy.
