Roasted Tamarind Seasoning Salt

Roasted Tamarind Seasoning Salt: A dry blend of culinary salt and finely ground edible flavoring. Salt remains the dominant seasoning, so use a small amount and taste the completed dish before adding more.

Context

Use seed-free tamarind pulp or dilute a labeled paste. Concentrates differ in acidity and sugar, so taste before adding citrus or sweetener; remove stringy fibers.

Example

A menu could use this preparation as a pinch over a finished dish before deciding if more salt is needed. This is an illustrative use, not a standardized recipe.

How THT uses it

At THT, this preparation is considered only when its taste and texture improve the actual dish; we adapt the portion and presentation to the guests.
