I picked up a block of this in the supermarket cheap the other day....high sugar content, anyone used it for anything ?

The wife makes a nice curry with it

That's what I do to.
maybe need to think outside the box?

Does the past have added sugar? As tamarind is very bitter, lovely in a curry not sure what booze would be like, please let us know

Tamarind, bitter??? You got the wrong stuff mate

I find the taste a little sour from the dried and bottled stuff that passes through my kitchen,for curry purposes.
Never considered using it for a wash nutrient.

Didn‘t Buddha get enlightenment under a tamarind tree?

It was under a fig tree, IIRC.

There is a tamarind wine produced in the Philippines, but I've never tried it. I have had tamarind margarita - it was pretty tasty.

Are you thinking of this as sugar substitute? Or a flavour?

I'm with the others, use it in curry's, I have delivered 20 tons in 50 gall barrels into the Worcestershire sauce company in the past, as its one of the main ingredients.

+1 for curries. Really not sure we are all talking about the same thing..........

I’m thinking a# a sugar substitute with maybe some other fruit. ‘Twas just a thought is all. Maybe for a spring experiment.
I’m dslending all my efforts at the moment on trying to get two stuck washes going again

It might work as a yeast nutrient, for those tired of the Kale v's Lentil battles?!

Robert.

Is any one still using lentils

I quite like a chicken dansak.
