Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • A box of fresh tamarind pods (or use 20 pods)
  • 1 tbsp of rum essence (optional)
  • ¼ cup of coconut sugar (or raw cane sugar)
  • Additional sugar for dusting - I used sukrin gold and stevia or raw cane sugar works too! (optional)

Instruction

  • Use your hands to de-shell the tamarind then place the flesh in a medium sized bowl.
  • Discard the stem and shell pieces once the tamarind has been shelled
  • Add the coconut sugar, rum essence and any other additional ingredients you choose to use i.e black pepper, hot sauce etc..
  • Use your hands to mould the tamarind into a large ball and prepare a plate with a layer of sugar for dusting.
  • Break off small pieces of tamarind to form balls then roll into the sugar
  • Repeat this step until all the balls have been made
