HOW TO MAKE TAMARIND PASTE | HOME MADE PULI PASTE | INDIAN KITCHEN BASICS

Indian Kitchen basics

Those who are regularly following Jeyashri's kitchen, must be aware that i have a started a new series in  my blog, after the successful attempt of Cooking for guests series. Past 2 weeks, i posted Indian micorowave recipes. This week i am sharing the recipe of Tamarind paste. As in most of the South indian family, we do Rasam , sambar or vathakuzhambhu on a daily basis. I have seen many ladies feeling so lazy to extract the tamarind juice every day, even i am not an exception to this. When somebody introduced to me the "readymade tamarind paste" available in stores, i started buying that and  it was so comfortable for me. After few months i realised, buying from store is not a healthy option as they may add any preservatives. So finally decided to make Home made tamarind paste. 
It took 30 minutes for me to finish making this and you will be relived for 2-3 months(depending on the usage) This tamarind paste can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 months.
