- 2 tablespoons tomato purée
- 400 g (14 oz) can chopped tomatoes

- 1.2 litre (2 pints) boiling water
Directions
Break up the dry tamarind in small pieces, place in a large bowl and add 300ml (½ pint) of boiling water.
Set aside to soak.
If using fresh okra, trim top and tail, wash and soak in cold water for 5 minutes.
Next drain and set aside.
Trim and wash meat, then place in a medium saucepan and cover with boiling water (meat must be completely covered).
Boil for 5 minutes.
Drain meat and discard water.
In a medium saucepan, fry garlic cloves on medium heat with meat for 1 – 2 minutes, until garlic is slightly brown.
Now add 900ml (1½ pints) of boiling water, cover pan and boil on medium heat for 30 minutes.
Strain the liquid of the tamarind through a sieve, pressing hard to extract as much juice from the pulp as possible.
