Tamarind Chicken With Cilantro Recipe

•     You can substitute 2 pounds extra-hard tofu for the chicken, just reduce the cooking time to 15 to 20 min. Two pounds of salmon or possibly other fish also would work, reduce the cooking time to 10 min per inch of thickness.
• 1/4 c. Laxmi tamarind concentrate (see note)
• 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
• 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/2 tsp chili paste (optional)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 x garlic cloves, chopped
• 3 lb chicken drumsticks and thighs
