I saw tamarind in the supermarket recently and yearned for some juice but had no idea how to make it. I will certainly make this. Thanks!!!

[@CookingwithShirani]

You are very welcome. I think once you make it one time and see how easy it is, you'll be making it all the time. I just made some more again today 😊. Hope you enjoy yours Yasmin!

[@errola.francis9844]

Yasmin please do not put plenty water into it. because it might spoiled😅

My wife loooooves tamarind juice, I found some at a store so I looked for how to make it. Thank you for a lovely clear video, and a few giggles too!

[@CookingwithShirani]

You are very welcome. Thank you too. I hope she enjoys her tamarind juice 😁

[@chabinathramkissoon1295]

We also call it tambrand here in Trinidad (West Indies) and we also say weebil instead of weevil. Great video.

[@CookingwithShirani]

I've been getting a lot of comments from Trinidad recently. It's good to know we say a lot of things the same way 😁❤️

Hello, I'm a new follower. Let me tell you that my great grand father was belizean and my Granny used to Cook belizean food. She passed away 20 Years ago and I still remember her food: rost beaf, fish sere, rice and beans, colitas, don plings, you remember me of her food, thanks.

[@CookingwithShirani]

Hello Cristian, thank you so much for following. Aww, I'm glad my recipes are bringing back memories for you of your granny. I bet she was a good cook. Hope you get to make some Belizean dishes soon 😊

[@janicejames3005]

I made some last week. But I really wanted the pulp to make tamarind chutney. I use the chutney on my salads and I thought that I could save money by making it myself. I added some spices and it was really good.

[@CookingwithShirani]

Oooh that sounds really good. I've never had or heard of tamarind chutney 😋

[@shamlimah5682]

The best way is just wash it soak in drinking water for an hour then squeeze it out add sugar put in fridge. but boiling is like boiling fruits.they don't boil but use fresh.

[@mslady1230]

Tamarind is HIGH naturally in SUGAR and honestly shouldn’t be consumed by those with diabetes, and by adding MORE SUGAR to it to make a drink is not good! It’s also high in Carbohydrates, which turns to SUGAR if not burnt off by exercise.

A lot of people say it's sweet, but I don't taste it sweet. I wonder if it's a different kind 🤔.

That's the sour kind she used. Verrrry sour! Your teeth would edge, your jaw would temporarily lock & your mouth would spring water if you consume it as is. Which was fun for us as children but as adults, nooooo! 😂😂

[@nuffwahalatrypeacetrini9ja414]

Shirani, the kind that grows in the Caribbean is the sour kind. We only get the sweet kind at the supermarket, usually the Chinese -owned supermarkets so we even grew up referring to it as Chinese tambran. 😂😂😂 T&T here! 💕😊
