At Sudhantira, tamarind is more than a kitchen essential - it’s a tradition preserved with care. Our tamarind is grown on our own organic farms, sun-cured and hand-processed using age-old techniques. Known as Puli (புளி) in Tamil, tamarind is a vital ingredient in South Indian cooking - balancing flavour with nutrition.

We preserve our tamarind the traditional way by hand-pounding it with castor oil to enhance shelf life naturally, without chemical preservatives. Whether you’re preparing sambhar, rasam, puliyodharai, vathal kuzhambu or Andhra-style pulusu, Sudhantira’s tamarind delivers authentic taste with every spoonful.

What is Tamarind?

Tamarind is a tropical fruit used widely in Indian cooking for its tangy-sweet flavour. Our tamarind is harvested at full ripeness, sun-dried and processed with care to retain its natural texture and aroma.

Each pod is deseeded and cured with a minimal touch of castor oil - a traditional preservation method used by generations to store tamarind without spoilage.
