Description
Tamarind is especially popular in Indian cooking, especially from the southern region, and I grew up eating candied Tamarind after meals due to its digestive properties, which is really addicting in that particular form. It's rarely used in American cooking, and I thought it would be interesting to fuse some Tamarind, in a sweet and spicy sauce, and immediately the thought of spring rolls came to mind.

Directions
- Place all ingredients of the filling (Chicken, ginger, garlic, cilantro, brown sugar, soy sauce, fish sauce) into a food processor and run for about 2 minutes till everything is incorporated into a giant mush. Let it marinade for a bit for around 15 minutes
- Combine everything from the sauce ingredients (Tamarind paste, ketchup, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce) in a small bowl and mix well. Add more ketchup or Soy sauce if needed. It should taste sweet and spicy with a hint of tart Tamarind.
- Wrap 2 tbsp of filling into each spring roll wrapper. Make 8 rolls, each about 3 to 4 inches long.
- Heat 1 cup oil in a small pot on medium high. When the oil is hot enough (dip wooden skewer/chopstick in oil, if it bubbles oil's ready) gently drop two rolls into the hot oil with a pair of tongs or chopsticks. Fry for 2 minutes and then flip and repeat. Remove them when they look really delicious, crunchy and golden brown!
- And that's it! You're done.
