Ingredients
1 1/4 cups sugar-free sweetener
1 (7-ounce) package tamarind paste
2 teaspoons hot sauce
Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Sweetener: Place 1/4 cup of the sugar-free sweetener onto a shallow plate. This will be used later to roll the tamarind balls.
- Mix the Tamarind Ball Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the tamarind paste, hot sauce, salt, and 3/4 cup of the sugar-free sweetener. Mix everything together thoroughly with your hands until the mixture is well combined.
- Shape the Tamarind Balls: Using your hands, shape the tamarind mixture into a large ball, and then divide it into small bite-sized portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
- Roll the Balls: Roll the tamarind balls in the reserved sugar-free sweetener to coat them evenly.
- Serve: Arrange the tamarind balls on a plate or cutting board and serve immediately, or store them in an airtight container.
Notes
Adjust the Spice Level: Add more hot sauce or cayenne pepper for extra heat.
Add a Sweet Twist: Add honey or agave nectar for a sweeter version.
Add Herbs: Incorporate chopped mint or cilantro into the mixture for added freshness.
