Tamarind - any recipes to recommend?

[apeainapod]

I bought some - and now I'm staring at it - what can I do with it?

jsut boil it in water for 5 mintutes to make tamarind sauce and then you can use it to marinate pork or lamb together with garlic, salt and chillies.
Vile stuff if you ask me though!

it's also good with fish actually.

Have a look at this recipe from MN a while ago Malaysian chicken curry

I keep meaning to try it - looks as though it was a very popular recipe!

Kelly, iirc, our local Chinese/Malaysian place does fish with tamarind sauce.

mmmmm thank you - it's going to be done tomorrow night - will let you know.

I stick it in any curry but not too much otherwise it tastes sour.

Nice with toasted sesame seeds.

couple of things on Ready Steady Cook tonight - here

Very very yummy fish curry recipe in Nigella's Forever Summer uses tamarind. It's on of our favourites.
