1 Bowl

Ingredients

2 pounds tamarind pods
1 1/2 cups organic cane sugar or I used coconut sugar
1/2 cup organic cane sugar for rolling or coconut sugar

Instructions

Crack the tamarind pods by applying pressure on them with your fingers. Remove the stalk and take out the pulp.
Squeeze the pulp to eliminate any shell pieces or seeds within the pulp.
Next, add 1 ½ cup of coconut sugar and mix well using your hands until it gets stiff. It might take some time to combine the two ingredients.
Divide the mixture into 24 equal pieces.
Roll each portion between the palms of your hands until it forms a ball.
Roll each ball in coconut sugar until it is coated well.
Store in an air-tight jar.
