Tamarind paste concentrate is a dark, shiny, viscous syrup that is quite intense in flavor. Tamarind paste puree is thicker than concentrate and more similarly resembles a homemade paste in texture. The puree is usually slightly less tart than the concentrate but still packs a punch. You can use tamarind paste in a variety of applications. It is an excellent base for a salad dressing, marinade, or dipping sauce. Tamarind paste has a sweet, sour pulp inside.
Pomegranate molasses has a similar consistency, acidity, and sweetness to tamarind paste concentrate.
A combination of lime juice and brown sugar is an acceptable substitute, though the flavor is slightly different.

Tamarind is fruity, punchy, and nuanced. The fruit varies a bit in flavor depending on when the pods are harvested. The sourest pulp comes from greenish, unripe pods; the pulp becomes more mild as the fruit ripens and the pods darken. Tamarind pulp, which is just the edible paste from within the pod, can also be purchased on its own. Commercially produced tamarind “concentrate” comes in two distinct styles: Thai/Indonesian and Indian. Indian-style concentrate: Jars of tamarind concentrate from the Indian subcontinent, on the other hand, contain paste cooked down into a true concentrate. This tamarind concentrate is almost black, with a thick, molasses-like consistency and a flavor that is more intense than Thai, Indonesian, or homemade tamarind paste while tasting less fruity and more “cooked.” Tamarind powder, made from dehydrated and ground tamarind, is frequently used in Indian cuisine as a souring agent in rice dishes, dals, curries, and chutneys. Make a carrot-tamarind chutney to serve with pakoras or other fried foods. Mix some prepared tamarind paste into a cocktail. Brighten up your homemade barbecue sauce. Make a tamarind-spiked peanut sauce for dunking everything from crudités to grilled chicken.

As this pulp ripens it becomes juicy and develops a distinctive sweet-sour flavour which tingles the tastebuds no end. Tamarind is used in many dishes like curry and chutney, as well as sauces and dressings. Because tamarind is so sour, it needs a little sweetness to balance the flavours, so I use whole dates as a base for the sauce. This sauce can be used as: a dressing for salads, particularly crunchy Asian inspired dishes poured over roasted veggies drizzled over savoury-filled pancakes added to stews and soups as a base for curry I’ve added in a little spice to the recipe; feel free to amend the amounts or omit altogether to suit your tastes. It’s certainly one of the tastiest additions I have in my plant-based kitchen.
