How to Use

General Usage Guide

As a concentrated paste, Priya Tamarind Paste is significantly stronger than raw tamarind. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste. As a general guide, 1 teaspoon of this paste is equivalent to approximately 1 tablespoon of soaked and extracted raw tamarind juice.

Common Uses

• Sambar & Rasam: Add 1–2 teaspoons directly to the pot when making sambar or rasam — no need to prepare tamarind water separately.
• Tamarind Rice (Puliyodarai): Mix 2–3 teaspoons with sesame oil, spices, and cooked rice for an instant tamarind rice without the lengthy preparation.
• Tamarind Chutney: Combine with jaggery, cumin powder, and a pinch of chilli powder for a classic sweet-sour tamarind dipping chutney for samosas and chaat.
• Fish & Meat Curries: Stir into gravies and curries to add the essential tang that balances rich, spiced sauces.
• Marinades: Mix with ginger-garlic paste, chilli powder, and oil to create a tangy marinade for fish, chicken, or vegetables before grilling or frying.
• Pad Thai & Asian Dishes: Use as the tamarind component in Pad Thai sauce or other Southeast Asian recipes that call for tamarind.
