Heera Tamarind with Seeds comes in a 400g block, enough for regular use across several weeks of home cooking. It keeps well in a cupboard once opened, ready whenever a recipe calls for a sour, fruity edge. This is whole tamarind pulp with its seeds still in, pressed into a dense block. It has the characteristic sticky texture and sharp, tangy flavour that tamarind is known for. A small piece goes a long way, making the block useful for many meals. In everyday cooking, tamarind like this is used to flavour curries, dals, rasam and sambar. It also works well in chutneys and sauces where a tart, fruity note is needed to balance richer or spicier ingredients. Many cooks break off a piece as needed rather than using the whole block at once. To prepare it, soak a piece of the block in warm water for a few minutes until it softens. Mash it through your fingers or a sieve to separate the pulp from the seeds and fibres, then discard the solids and use the strained liquid or paste in your dish. Store the remaining block tightly wrapped or in a sealed container to keep it in good condition between uses.
