We have some exciting news to share...
MAHI Tamarind Purée has officially been recognised with a prestigious Great Taste Award 2026!
Known as the world's largest and most trusted food and drink accreditation scheme, the Great Taste Awards celebrate products that deliver exceptional flavour. Every product is judged through blind tasting by panels of chefs, food critics, buyers, retailers and industry experts, making this one of the highest honours a food brand can receive.
As a small, independent British business, we're incredibly proud that our Tamarind Purée has been recognised purely on what matters most – taste.
What the Great Taste Judges Said
The judges had some fantastic things to say about our Tamarind Purée, including:
"Without doubt really good."
"Rich, tangy, complex and a great ingredient."
"We can imagine it brightening up all kinds of dishes."
"To deliver such intensity and richness requires good quality raw ingredients."
These comments perfectly capture everything we've worked so hard to achieve.
Why We Created MAHI Tamarind Purée
Anyone who has cooked with traditional tamarind knows the process.
Buying tamarind blocks often means soaking, straining and removing fibres and seeds before you can even begin cooking. It's messy, time-consuming and often results in inconsistent flavour.
We wanted to change that.
Our Tamarind Purée is made using high-quality tamarind to deliver authentic, bold flavour in a convenient ready-to-use jar. Simply open, spoon and enjoy—no preparation required.
Whether you're making an Indian curry, Thai stir-fry, Vietnamese dipping sauce, Mexican marinade, Middle Eastern glaze or even a refreshing cocktail, our Tamarind Purée delivers the perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess every time.
A Versatile Store Cupboard Essential
One of the things we love most about tamarind is its incredible versatility.
It can add depth to:
- Curries
- Marinades
- BBQ sauces
- Chutneys
- Salad dressings
- Stir-fries
- Noodle dishes
- Soups
- Cocktails
- Desserts
A spoonful can completely transform a dish by adding complexity, acidity and natural fruitiness without overpowering other ingredients.
It's no surprise the Great Taste judges commented that they could imagine it "brightening up all kinds of dishes."
