I always think of buying prawns but i didn’t have a clue how am i going to cook them.So but I just saw the TAMARIND recipe and it looks delicious. I am now inspired to go buy myself some and cook them myself.

One question, with the shell my prawns where not sour at all, just the shell. How about taking off the shell BEFORE marinating?

Hi Marlom – different tamarind has different level of tartness. So, in this case, your tamarind might be the overly sour type. Use lesser in the future.

Hi, I cooked 2 dishes from your site: the sweet and sour pork as well as this assam prawn dish. the sweet and sour pork was simply divine, i think it beats even the best chinese restaurants in Perth! However the assam prawns were much too sour, and i loovee assam prawns. Can you tell me where I might hv gone wrong?? Thank you!

I have never tried it with fish so I am not sure. I would think prawns are the best.

hI! lOVED how the prawns was so nice not over cloying sour but just great! Im a tamarind fanatic myself loved tamarind water to eat with rice too! so comforting!! Just wanted to ask whether if substituting prawns with fish is alright? like frozen fillet fish?

Unless you are allergic to prawns, you got to love this assam (tamarind) recipe.
