Tamarind Candy Photography

Tamarind Candy or Imli Ki Goli is a type of candy made from the fruit of the tamarind tree. Tamarind candy is often described as being chewy, and Tamarind Candy is normally sold in small containers with each piece rolled in sugar. Tamarind tree normally grows in tropical locations such as Africa, India, and parts of Asia. The tamarind tree is also common in Mexico and some parts of South America. Tamarind candy is known for having a sweet and sour taste, and it may be found most often in specialty food stores that carry items from a variety of different countries.

My favorite candy when I was a kid, it is a most common in India, available in all grocery shop. This tamarind pulp candy is exceptionally sweet and delicious. It is a hard candy treat that is sure to satisfy any tough, snacking craving. People who enjoy tamarind candy often choose to make it at home rather than purchasing it. The candy can be made using tamarind paste, jaggery, and some spices and then coated in sugar.

Sprouted Moong curry is healthy, nutritious and ha Sprouted Moong curry is healthy, nutritious and has an excellent fresh flavor with full of protein. They can be cooked in several ways, I made this in coconut gravy. You just need to soak whole moong bean overnight, then drain it and left it in a warm place with covered cloth, so that they can easily start sprouting. It is a delicious, quick and one pot curry. It can be eaten with roti, steamed rice or paratha.
