Description
What is Tamarind (Imli) Sauce?
Tamarind, also called imli, is a tropical fruit found in a pod. It has a unique flavour that is sweet, sour, and slightly bitter. For centuries, people in India, Pakistan, Thailand, the Caribbean, and Latin America have used it for cooking and medicine.
When made into a sauce, tamarind becomes a rich, dark condiment that mixes well with many spices and ingredients. It adds a strong flavour and an exciting twist to your meals.
East End Tamarind Sauce captures this traditional flavour. Made from high-quality tamarind pulp, it has the perfect thickness. Its smooth texture and bright tang make it great for everyday cooking and gourmet dishes.
Key characteristics:
- Made with real, ripe tamarind pulp for a bold and natural taste
- Enhanced with traditional ingredients for a well-rounded flavour profile
- Free from artificial colours, preservatives, or sweeteners
- Vegetarian and vegan-friendly – suits diverse dietary preferences
- Smooth, pourable consistency for effortless use
Why East End Tamarind Sauce Stands Out
Not all tamarind sauces are the same. East End is a brand known for its authenticity, quality, and dedication to traditional flavours. Each bottle of tamarind sauce comes from careful sourcing, exact blending, and skilled craftsmanship.
Uncompromised Quality:
- Made in clean facilities that meet strict UK food safety rules.
- Quality checks are done regularly to guarantee consistency and satisfaction.

Authentic Flavour Profile:

This tamarind sauce always impresses with its rich flavour and aroma. You can enjoy it with samosas, use it to spice up grilled chicken or add it to a fusion sauce.
