Hi. Liked the pics so much . Wil surely try . As I am a beginner it wud be great if u cud tel me the amount of tamarind water u have used. Looks like one cup of water . Can u clarify that and it wud be of great help if u can give tamarind water measurements .
Hi, You can soak the tamarind in 1 cup of water and squeeze out the tamarind to get a thick paste. If you feel the tamarind has still essence, again add half cup of water and squeeze out the tamarind juice
Lucid explanation. Nice
Hi can I add garlic to this? If yes at which step
We can sauté garlic with other fried ingredient and grind it with ginger.
