The Tamarind Tree



The last time I went back to my mother's place , I was in awe of what I saw; the tamarind tree over burdened with fruits. What a sight, with the brownish tamarind pods hanging heavily on the tree. People use to flavoured the dishes they cook with the tamarind pulp and juice, it is sour and sometimes sweet in taste. I like it when you add a little bit of the juice to everyday cooking , some would add it when they cook fish curry and chutney. I guess it has plenty of uses and I look forward to seeing the tamarind tree around for a long time to come.
