Announcing JFI July- Jihva for Tamarind

Jihva for Ingredients aka JFI as it is known among the food bloggers is one of the most popular food blogging events out there. JFI is the brainchild of Indira of Mahanandi, who started this event to celebrate and showcase a different natural ingredient every month. The pleasure of hosting JFI this month is all mine, thank you Indira for this opportunity!

The chosen ingredient this month is Tamarind. Tamarind is an essential ingredient in Indian cuisine and is widely used in other Asian, Latin American and Caribbean cuisines. It is also one of the main ingredients of Worcestershire sauce, a popular condiment in the Western cuisine. In other words, Tamarind is truly a universal ingredient, so I am sure there are tons of recipes out there using this very versatile fruit. The popularity of tamarind is evident from the fact that there is at least one restaurant called Tamarind something or  Something Tamarind in most cities.

Tamarind is available for purchase in most speciality food stores and Asian and Latin American grocery stores in the form of paste, pulp, juice, concentrate and even as a whole fruit form when in season. I just picked up a large box of Sweet Tamarind from Whole Foods market.  So there are no excuses like you can’t find Tamarind! Let’s get those creative juices flowing, you can make anything edible using any form of Tamarind.
