Crispy Garlic Tofu Bites

    Cuisine:

    I like everything in this, except the tamarind, which may be my mistake. Wondering if my 'tamarind concentrate' is something different from tamarind paste called for, because in this large amount it was completely overpowering. I decided not to assign any stars because I think there must be a difference, and hopefully this post will save someone else making the same mistake. I will definitely try this again because I think the rest of the ingredients would be good together...only next time I'll add in touches of my tamarind 'concentrate' at the end, during the cooking stage of the sauce.
