What is Tamarind Paste. Tamarind paste is the pure concentrate form of the fruit from the Tamarind tree. This fruit is born in the form of thin brown pods with each pod containing 3-12 seeds that are surrounded by the fleshy tamarind fruit. When the tamarind fruit is ripe (colored brown or reddish-brown) it can be made into a paste. This is typically done by removing the seeds from the tamarind fruit and then blending the tamarind fruit into a pulp with a combination of water and sugar / spices.
