Description
Tamarind, also known as Imli, is a hardwood tree known scientifically as Tamarindus indica. The tree produces pods that are filled with seeds and a juicy pulp that is green in colour and sour to taste. As the fruit ripens this juicy pulp becomes a paste-like texture that is then slightly sweet and sour to the taste. Tamarind is common throughout most Indian cuisines. Usually, it is the juice or pastes that are used as a souring agent, particularly in south Indian and Gujarati lentil dishes, curries and chutneys, where its flavour is more authentic than vinegar or lemon juice. Uses of the pulp include traditional medicine and metal polish. Apart from the culinary benefit tamarind is also highly beneficial for your skin and can be used for lightening and help with skin rashes. The pulp of Tamarind pods is an ancient Ayurvedic ingredient used to polish and detoxify the skin because of its high content of Vitamin C. 12 Months
