1
Prepare Tamarind
Place the tamarind pulp in a bowl and pour 500 ml of warm water over it. Allow it to soak for about 30 minutes to soften.
2
Extract Juice
After soaking, use your hands to mash the tamarind pulp in the water, breaking it apart to release the juices. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve or cheesecloth into a separate bowl to remove the fibers and seeds.
3
Sweeten and Season
Add 100 g of sugar, 1 tsp of salt, and 2 tbs of lime juice to the strained tamarind juice. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
4
Add Spice
Sprinkle in 1 tsp of chili powder for a hint of heat, adjusting to taste. Mix thoroughly.
