Tamarind paste is made from a sour dark sticky fruit that grows in a pod on a tamarind tree. While some cuisines use tamarind paste to make desserts and even sweets in Thai cuisine it is primarily used in savory dishes. Classic pad Thai sauce is made with tamarind as are some Thai curries and seafood dishes. Indian curries also call for tamarind. It is also a common ingredient in Indian and Mexican cuisines as well as Vietnamese Latin and Caribbean cuisines. It is also a key ingredient in Worcestershire sauce contributing its signature flavor.
