Does anyone know if any of the large supermarkets are likely to sell tamarind in any form?

I'm sure I've seen it in the new world section of our 24hr Tesco.

On the Tesco website is a "Fudco Wet Tamarind 400g" for 59p.

Anyone know anything about wet tamarind? as opposed to concentrated paste?

Ok - so you may not be able to view that paste.  It says on the site

"Use up to 4tsp for 4 servings, over 20+ servings per (35g) pouch"

does that sound triple concentrated or should I use 3 times as much do you think?

Cheers

mmm unsure about that bodmass... ive never looked for it supermarkets (except Asian ones)

Does this look like the right stuff?  Not sure if it's concentrated enough (or how to tell)

Oh and menu calls for 1 tbsp of onion & 0.5 tbsp of capsicum, is this correct?  I'm ued to "1 small onion" for ie, but 1tbsp of onion?

Oh well.

There are some Indian & Chinese shops around hear, guess I'll have to try them.  If I find Tamarind in other than concentrated paste I'll be back for help again  ;D

Either way, I'll give you a report on a complete noobs attempt later  :-[
