MAE PLOY Tamarind Concentrate 1kg

MAE PLOY Tamarind Concentrate 1kg

MAE PLOY Tamarind Concentrate (น้ำมะขามเข้มข้น แม่พลอย, nam ma-kham khem khon mae phloi) is a ready-to-use tamarind concentrate from MAE PLOY — a convenient liquid format of tamarind (ma-kham, มะขาม) that eliminates the need to soak and strain whole tamarind pulp. Tamarind is one of the most important souring agents in Thai cuisine, used across a vast range of savoury dishes, dipping sauces, and desserts to add a fruity, tangy acidity that is distinct from lime or vinegar. It is an essential ingredient in pad thai (the souring and sweetening agent in the sauce), massaman curry (for balance and depth), jeo ma-kham (E-San tamarind dipping sauce), and many Thai desserts and drinks. The concentrate format from MAE PLOY is a thick, dark, intensely sour liquid that can be diluted to the desired strength, making it significantly more convenient than working with whole tamarind blocks or pods. The 1 kg pack is a large household or catering format suited to regular or high-volume use.
