Sweet Tamarind Sauce Recipe

Sweet Tamarind Sauce is a delicious Asian condiment made with tamarind pulp, sugar, and spices. It has a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy flavors, making it a versatile dip for spring rolls, grilled chicken, satay, seafood, and Asian street food snacks.

This sauce is especially popular in Thai and Vietnamese cuisine, often served as a dipping sauce or as a glaze for meats and noodles. The best part? It’s quick and easy to prepare at home in just 15 minutes.

📝 Ingredients

  • ½ cup tamarind pulp (or ¼ cup seedless tamarind soaked in warm water)
  • ½ cup brown sugar (or palm sugar for authentic taste)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional, for depth of flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • ½ teaspoon salt

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. If using seedless tamarind, soak it in warm water for 20 minutes, mash, and strain to extract pulp.
  2. In a saucepan, combine tamarind pulp, brown sugar, and water.
  3. Cook on medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the sauce begins to thicken.
  4. Add soy sauce (optional), chili flakes, garlic, ginger, and salt.
  5. Simmer for 8–10 minutes until the sauce reaches a glossy, pourable consistency.
  6. Let it cool before storing in a clean glass jar.

🌟 Serving Suggestions

  • As a dipping sauce for spring rolls, wontons, and samosas.
  • Drizzle over grilled meats, satay, or seafood.
  • Use as a glaze for chicken wings or stir-fried noodles.
  • Pair with fried rice or Asian salads.

💡 Tips & Variations

  • Thicker Sauce: Simmer longer for a sticky, glaze-like consistency.
  • Sweeter Sauce: Add more brown sugar or palm sugar.
  • Spicier Version: Increase chili flakes or add a spoon of sriracha.
  • Thai Style: Add a splash of fish sauce for authentic depth.

📌 Storage

Store sweet tamarind sauce in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For longer use, freeze in small portions and thaw before serving.
