souring agent
Tamarind pulp
Imli
6 g1 teaspoon
18 g1 tablespoon
Dense tamarind paste ~1.2 g/ml.
Instead of Tamarind pulp
Tamarind pasteUse 70–80% of the weight, dilute with water and strain; paste is more concentrated.
Tamarind extractUse 150% of the weight and reduce; extract is thinner and less fibrous.
Lime juiceUse 60% of the weight plus a pinch of jaggery; sharper and lacks body, so thicken if needed.
