Topic: Tamarind sauce my new friend

[Curry addict bob]

has anyone tried the Chicken Tamarina video which I think was one of Julians?  I've tried it a few times and its excellent.  I generally use the Maggi brand of tamarind sauce, but I guess they are all very similar

The shop I get my Tamarind from also sells the Maggi sauce will buy this one next time and give it try

This appeared in my local tesco, so i bought a few jars.

Always add a few drops to my madras, lovely stuff.

Ah the good old tamarind. I've become a fan of "TRS Tamarind Concentrate" for use (1 tsp) in my Vindaloos. This was what I was looking for in perfecting my Vindaloo in a long time.

I know most people here don't seem to be friends with a "sour" Vindaloo, but that's how I know it from my fav restaurants here (on the continent that is). Now I use 1 TBSP vinegar + 1 tsp tamarind concentrate (+ 1 tsp green cardamom crushed) and it' s all it needs to get that special bang!
