Sharab Tamr Hendi is a very popular drink in Middle east. Sharab Tamr hendi is a drink made with indian (Hendi)  tamarind (Tamr) and consumed in Ramadan. Served in long half filled glasses, I am  hooked to  this drink and had my first taste of it around ten years back. I love discovering new cuisines and  this was something completely new for me.

Tamr Hendi

This is such an easy drink to make with tamarind and sugar. First of all a block of tamarind has to be soaked around 1 hour. Then the seeds and skin has to be removed  by straining and then the pulp is mixed with sugar.

 Sharab Tamr Hendi is served chilled. I have made lots of variations of this simple drink adding cumin powder, mint and sometimes added honey or dates instead of sugar. But I believe  original is the best and no use meddling with authentic flavors.

  1. Hehe... remembering the Tamr Hind we had at Olea and how you took two glasses... :P I never liked this recently, it was more like an acquired taste for me... I am thinking of trying it at home for Ramadan though not sure how much the folks would accept...
    1. LOL. Hubby is not fond of this drink. Only make for myself when I am in a mood.And you are right it's an acquired taste.
  2. It sounds so good! Here we have magreb at 10pm night, so just time for some soup, water and little more, cause you have to wake up for suhur at 2.45 am and then again at 7 am. Really exausting these days.
    1. Very true Aisha. But there is lots of peace , calm and serene atmosphere during this time. All the exhaustion and tiredness is well worth.
