Since we don't use much tamarind I did not know about the Thai variety. <BR/>After first suceess with the Unripe INDIAN tamarind last weekend I sent D for some more and he came back with the box of the Thai Tamarind. We didn't know it was SWEET until we cut them up and now don't know what to do with those<BR/><BR/>Kausum<BR/>Kya re, khali-pili timepass ? And I don't know if its a all Bong thing, I am yet to meet a Bong Man who likes/loves tamarind<BR/><BR/>Gattina and all who are new to Raw tamarind<BR/><BR/>The way we made this may not be liked by everyone as eating it is fun but messy, you have to bite and remove the hard skin and then spit out the seeds and enjoy the tamarind. Not good if are having guests over, fun if you know what you are doing and having a quiet home lunch<BR/><BR/>Mishmash & Sig<BR/>ThanksSandeepahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15407918137263251235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-86150979798188890512007-03-29T07:46:00.000-04:002007-03-29T07:46:00.000-04:00what a combination! a little taste of india right here. my uncle has an imli tree and we used to spend the summe sitting under it, picking off imlis till we get a stomach upset. did u use the thai sweet kind or is it really indian?Mallugirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08793721992861560043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-57086014524799518692007-03-29T02:04:00.000-04:002007-03-29T02:04:00.000-04:00Wow, tamarind and papaya in one dish, thats very cool... the tamarind pics are giving me major cravings Sandeepa...Sighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16949737485794919264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-60888395562132990842007-03-28T16:28:00.000-04:002007-03-28T16:28:00.000-04:00Sandeepa, You are being lazy, You need to type all the "thank you for visiting" comments once more. <BR/><BR/>Looks nice, but never tried this one.

Congratulations.<BR/><BR/>Here in the Caribbean, we get a lot of tamarind also; we use it to make drink, achaar, and something called tamarind ball (I hope to do a post on that sometime soon). My sister and I used to love eating the ripe tamarind similiar to how you mentioned. Ours would just have chili and salt and we did not have a name for it, we would just say that we are eating tamarind with pepper and salt :))Cynthiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01565340772467109199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-25852691128688105622007-03-26T16:50:00.000-04:002007-03-26T16:50:00.000-04:00ouch ouch... my cheeks hurts!!<BR/><BR/>sharmiSharmihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02269369149098453324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-85088302306821546112007-03-26T16:12:00.000-04:002007-03-26T16:12:00.000-04:00Loved this post!!

The ones I got were the sour ones, green inside and unripe.<BR/>Yesterday however my hubby got a box of raw tamarind which looked same but were "SWEET" !!! The box said they were from Thailand, do you know about this "SWEET TAMARIND" ? It was not at all sour and the insides were ripened too.<BR/><BR/>Shilpa<BR/>These were green, unripe tamarind. the way we do it just cut in halves and toss them in. Now when you are having the chutney you have to deal with hard skin, the seeds everything. That is why it is only served for cozy home lunches :)<BR/><BR/>Supriya<BR/>You share bee's pic too, monkeying around :) Hope you are not climbing out of the window in UK :)Sandeepahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15407918137263251235noreply@blogger.com
