Imli (Tamrind) – Aadey Foods

Our Imli (Tamarind) is sourced from ripe pods, sun-dried and compressed into dense blocks packed with tart, complex flavor. Unlike vinegar or lemon juice, tamarind offers a lingering sweetness behind its initial punch, with hints of caramel and dates. When soaked and strained, the pulp becomes a versatile souring agent—equally at home in Maharashtrian sambar, Bengali fish curries, and Mexican candies. A staple in Ayurveda for its cooling properties, it’s the secret behind “just-right” tangy dishes.
