Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 4 ounces (100grs) Tamarind, without the shells
- 1- 1/4 cup of warm water (for soaking)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 4- 3/4 cups of water
- 6 Tablespoons of Masa Harina *
Instruction
- Soak the peeled tamarind pods in a bowl with 1-1/4 cup of water for 30 minutes. After that time, press the tamarind pods between your fingers, rubbing them to get all the pulp out and form a liquid paste.
- Pour 4 cups of water in a medium-sized saucepan and add the sugar. Add the tamarind paste using a strainer to remove the seeds. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil.
- Meanwhile, mix the masa harina with the remaining water until it doesn’t show any lumps.
- When the tamarind mix in the saucepan starts boiling, gently add the masa harina mixture and stir. When the atole comes to a boiling point, reduce the heat and simmer for about 8 minutes, stirring frequently.
