I tried using Tamarind in a stir fry once. However, it did not work well. Not the Tamarind’s fault.

Did you boil it and squeeze out the pulp? We find that it works best with a cheese cloth. I could eat the pulp just by itself. Love it.

Sorry we did not include that in the ingredient list. We used 2 Tbsp, but you can use slightly more or less depending on how much sodium/fishiness you want. It sounds like you made it. How did it turn out? We love this dish, the spicier the better! 😛
