Name: Tamarind: Pod, Pulp, Juice, Extract (India)
Ingredients: 1 Tamarind; the pod; Tamarind pulp

The work of discipling occurs in the present, but it has its eyes set on the Last Day. It requires long-term thinking. It requires an investor’s mentality, knowing that the return is eternal. And the investment occurs through God’s Word. We must proclaim God’s Word is the seed that ultimately bears fruit, even if we don’t see it in the short term…trust that God’s Word does not return void. You will see the harvest later.

INGREDIENTS

1		Tamarind; the pod
		Tamarind pulp

INSTRUCTIONS

Pod: Tamarind looks a little like a cinnamon-colored pod of broad beans.
Tamarind grows on tall trees and is peeled and seeded when ripe.
Pulp: The fruit is then squashed into bricks and this is how you buy it.
Juice: To make tamarind juice: break off 2 tablespoons tamarind from the
block. Soak it in twice its volume of very hot water for a couple of hours.
Now, squeeze the pulp well or press it through a sieve with a wooden spoon
to get out all the juice. It must be strained.
Extract: The juice can then be distilled and sold as a concentrate in a
jar. To reconstitute, dissolve 1 teaspoon in any preparation for six
servings.
Preparations: sauce, gravies, soups, stews, curries, sambar, rasam, etc.
Tamarind is often spiced and sweetened.
Taste: Tamarind has a very tart citric flavor; if you cannot find it, use a
dash of lemon or lime juice instead.
