Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hispanic markets and middle eastern markets sell the paste. Some of the Asian markets have it also. REminds me of guava in flavor. You won't like the salted seeds since you watch your sodium. Donna Erin <truepatriot wrote: Has anyone tried this? Any good recipes? And most importantly: Where in the heck do I get it?!

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 My local grocery (Hannaford) has a large aisle of ethnic foods/condiments, including Indian and Mexican. Unfortunately, I did not see it there. I did find one online link, and Indian site selling a small tub of tamarind paste for $3.25 or so. -Erin , Donnalilacflower <thelilacflower wrote: > > Hispanic markets and middle eastern markets sell the paste. > Some of the Asian markets have it also.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I use it as a filling for cookies, I stir fry sliced okra in a mixture of turmeric, tamarind paste and some mustard seeds. I have added it to filling in my baklava, I like it spread on a toasted English muffin, I will make brown rice and stir some into the rice when it's done and add some sliced dry roasted almonds, it's a tart/sweet taste. I think you will enjoy it but I know you won't like the salty seasoned tamarind seeds. I love salty foods and those are a bit much for me. That's a good price you found it for. I pay $1.99 for a small square packet at the middle eastern store, the prices vary a little.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Erin - I generally find tamarind molasses at a middle eastern grocery. I use it in salad dressings, marinating tofu, toss with veggies before grilling, etc. The taste is NOT uniform; some are sweetened, some are spiced. Test a few different brands until you find one you like. Chupa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Well, right now it's a matter of finding ONE, let alone having a variety from which to choose.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 That cracked me up! That's like me trying to find a frozen perogi. I had never even heard the word and I've still never seen them frozen out here.

The easiest thing is to get the paste in a little plastic jar (try an Indian store if you have one). The pods are a pain to process. I've only used it in chutneys so far.
