How to Use

Mix 1-2 tablespoons with 1/2 cup warm water to create instant tamarind water for sambar, rasam, and tamarind rice.

Include in marinades for a natural fruit-acid tenderizing component.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ratio of concentrate to water for a typical sambar? Start with 1 tablespoon concentrate dissolved in 1/2 cup of water for a standard tamarind base — adjust to taste as different recipes and personal preference require varying sourness levels.

How is tamarind concentrate different from tamarind paste? Tamarind concentrate is more intensely reduced and thicker than paste — use slightly less of the concentrate than the paste quantity called for in any recipe. Both work similarly in cooking applications.

Can I use Laxmi Tamarind Concentrate in Indian desserts? Yes — a small amount adds a pleasant fruity tartness to imli (tamarind) candy preparations, traditional imli chutney for chaat, and date-tamarind relishes served with samosas.
