Ingredients
- A box of fresh tamarind pods (or use 20 pods)
- 1 tbsp of rum essence (optional)
- ΒΌ 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)
Method
- 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 (use gloves as it might be sticky) 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
