  1. This like taking a trip to...I don't really know where, Thailand, or Indonesia? My husband and I both enjoyed this excellent sauce over pan-fried red snapper. I had tamarind paste, rather than pulp, which I believe is a lot more concentrated, so I used only 2 teaspoons, and didn't need to strain it. I stuck to the recipe as to the other ingredients and amounts, using some red chilli in mine, but leaving my husband's without. Thank you for a lovely recipe.

Hi. I am currently residing in Australia.. I have recently moved from Dallas,Tx. I do miss the States but I am getting used to life Down Under. My all time favorite cookbook is that of my mother's she has the most fantastic traditional Indian recipes... If I had a month off i'd probably sleep most of the time since sleep is what i lack.it's not that i'm bogged down with work and things to do...I just can't sleep. Once i get enuf of sleep i'd go explore places i've always wanted to go to...and learn their cuisine.
