Preparation
- Add the tamarind pulp and 1 cup of granulated sugar to a bowl and mash together with a spoon or fork.
- Take small amounts and roll into balls in your hands, about the size of a marble or slightly bigger.
- Spread the remaining sugar on a plate or sheet pan and roll the balls in it until well coated.
- Eat immediately, or leave to set for a few hours or overnight for a firmer texture and more crystallised coating.
