Before consuming the fruit, it must be first removed from its pod. Crack the cinnamon-brown shell that encases the pod with fingers. Veins or coarse strands of fiber that run lengthwise along the pod should be discarded. Because the paste is acidic, it can also be used to tenderize a hunk of protein. Blend a piece of tamarind pulp with coconut chutney, or cilantro chutney for an extra taste. It is used to prepare chaat, like dahi vada, bhel puri, samosa, or kachori chaat, as tamarind chutney, a sweet-and-sour condiment that is a mixture of tamarind extract, jaggery and spices.
