1/4 cup fish sauce
4 tablespoons palm sugar-(Ayu used only 3 tbsp)
1 1/2 – 2 tablespoons paprika powder (if you like it hot, use 2 tablespoons)-(Ayu used 3 tbsp chili paste)

Method:
Soak the tamarind pulp in warm water for 15 minutes to extract the juice. Squeeze the seeds and membrane of the tamarind pulp to get the juice. Filter the tamarind juice for use and discard the residue.
