Soy Tamarind Sauce has a spicy, sweet, and sour taste. It's a delicious and versatile dipping sauce, similar to Tamarind Chutney, and knows no bounds when it comes to cultural cuisine.

Tamarind comes in pods, slabs, and as paste in jars.

Tear tamarind paste into chunks and add to a medium saucepan.
