where to buy tamarind....

hi
what is tamarind called in US..
i was at the store today looking for it,and noone seems to understand it..

Did you try an Indian store? I think that Tamarind is only available in Indian Stores not a regular grocery store.

Sometimes you can find tamarind in Mexican stores and I have also gotten the pods from Thailand at Oreintal markets. That being said easiest place is Indian market.

I have not seen tamarind in the American grocery stores.However you will surely find them in Indian grocery stores.If you are fine with using tamarind paste/ pulp, you even get readymade ones.They are so easy to use.

hi, i started buying tamrind in the indian stores but i feel that they are different then what my mother uses in cooling?. so i bought the tamrind paste from india , now i can relax and have my mom's taste in my hands too.

hi mullapudi
thats interesting
you mean to say home made tamarind paste
i never heard about it before about tamarind being home made
how to do that...
i always buy the raw ones or as a paste

Sure it must be in any indian store..rarely found in mexican markets but they are quite different
