🟤Tamarind in the mortar & pestle

There are 2 recipes here that use Tamarind, and every one of them is scored against what is actually in your fridge before it is shown. The quickest is Peanut Sauce at 25 minutes; the longest, Simple Gado-Gado, takes 35.

None of these need an oven, an air fryer, or a microwave — a stove and a pan is enough. 2 are vegetarian. 2 are properly spicy.

Tamarind turns up most often alongside Peanut, Bird's eye chili, Palm sugar and Bean sprouts — if you have one or two of those as well, more of this list becomes cookable tonight rather than after a shopping trip. Add what you have to your fridge and the recipes reorder themselves around it, with anything missing collected into a shopping list.
