POR KRUA Tamarind Paste 850g

POR KRUA Tamarind Paste (มะขามเปียกตราพ่อครัว, ma kham piak tra Por Krua) is a wet tamarind paste produced by Por Krua. Tamarind paste (ma kham piak / มะขามเปียก) is a less processed form of tamarind than liquid concentrate — made from compressed tamarind pulp that retains some fibre and may contain seeds or seed fragments, requiring the cook to dissolve a portion in warm water and strain before use to extract the tamarind liquid. This preparation step gives the cook more control over the concentration and consistency of the tamarind flavour, and the paste format is preferred by cooks who want a more natural, less processed tamarind product. The flavour is bright, fruity, and tangy — the direct, unmodified sourness of tamarind pulp without additional processing. It is used as a souring agent across Thai, Indian, Malaysian, and Southeast Asian cooking in dishes such as pad thai, tom yum, massaman curry, tamarind-based dipping sauces, and Indian tamarind chutney. The 850g pack is a large household and light food service format suited to kitchens that use tamarind regularly.
