Tamarind Pickle

When I was a teenager tamarind pickles was my favourite pickle, as it did not need much time to prepare, not it needed much skill also. What more it was faster to make it. At that time during its season, it was easy to buy it from the market,  I do not remember the price but it was affordable even to my wallet which had holes in many places. Nowadays, it's not that easily available in market like before yet you can get it when you look for it. 

Tamarind is a hardwood tree known scientifically as Tamarindus indica. It's native to Africa but also grows in India, Pakistan and many other tropical regions. The tree produces bean-like pods filled with seeds surrounded by a fibrous pulp. The pulp of the young fruit is green and sour.Healthline
