1 cup pitted and peeled sweet thai tamarind. Best to place the tamarind in a few cups of boiled hot water and let soak, then peel and pit. It will be stringy.  Throw away the shells and the pits. 

6 dried organic prunes

about 1 cup pure water

a few pinches of soma salt

a few pinches for ground clove, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, fennel, turmeric, black pepper.

After you shell the tamarind, throw the prune pits out.  

Heat the pure water and place the pitted prunes and tamarind and cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes and then simmer for about 20 minutes.  Add the rest of the ingredients.  Blend in a food processor gently just until blended, it should be the consistency of fig jam.  Eat a heaping tablespoon with your dinner of kichari and vegetables.  The laxative affect should work the next day.
