Make this homemade version in less time than it takes to run to the store. To make it gluten free I replaced the gluten-filled malt vinegar with apple cider vinegar. Not everyone has tamarind or anchovies in their kitchen but adding them will make a more authentic sauce.
Place all ingredients in a medium saucepan and stir.
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Simmer 1 minute. Cool.
Pour into a bottle and store in the refrigerator. Lasts indefinitely.
Makes about ¾ cup. Shake well before using.
Notes
To use tamarind concentrate add water and stir. Two parts water to 1 part concentrate. Use in any recipe calling for tamarind paste or sauce.If you bought the tamarind check out these recipes using tamarind.
