    I loved the dish but did half the tamarind concentrate as I have used this before in another dish and knew that it would overtake everything else in the dish so I was more sparing of the tamarind and it turned out to be a lovely dish.

    Are you sure this recipe needs a whole jar of tamarind concentrate? I bought the smallest jar available (200 grams). The others were much bigger. The sauce was black and horrible despite adding the water as suggested. It completely ruined the other tastes.
