I am fortunate to have access to many Asian markets. But you can get
them online.


Tamarind:

I have used the above tamarind. You have to soak it first then
strain it. It's kind of gross looking. I recently started buying

It's pretty much what you end up with after soaking the dried up
brick above. Much easier, in my opinion.

Shipping might be pricey though.
