Tamarind is used for cooking extensively all over south and in Mangalore almost all older households have a tamarind tree in their garden. We use it for almost all curries ,Sambhar, rasam fish and sea food preparations ..We also make a pickle with green chilies, ginger and tender tamarind which is very tasty !
I use tamarind in a few dishes but for my daily dal and curries, I use Kokam or 'aamsul' as we call it in Marathi. But I really tamarind-dates chutney which I make in large quantities to be used occasionally with chaats and other such savouries. Apart from that, we make a special preparation called 'panchamrut' using tamarind on festivals and special occasions.

Exactly. Innovations and discoveries are needed to make the country self reliant. In this regard, some of our young Scientists contributed a lot who came up with ground breaking inventions. Besides, what you named Plastic based Road Material, there are several such inventions like 'Paper Microscope' invented by Manu Prakash, that costs less than a Dollar. This Microscope is very useful in Science education and medical diagnosis in rural areas.
Yes invention of Manu Prakash is also useful. But condition of road in my city is very very poor. Most of the roads of my city are damaged badly. After Monsoon local body will repair these but in December all are damaged again. Indeed beurocrats and leader are not interested in dureable work. More road damaged more commission they will earn. So why dureable roads?

Definitely I will land in a jail. I'm not as rich as Salman I'm not influential either. Had I been Salman, i would have been roaming scot-free Not only Chinkara every living organism is essential to keep the environment safe. Even tree felling is a crime. While building a House, if you want to cut a tree, you have to obtain the permission from the concerned Environment Ministry.
You need not to be Salman. Rambabu is good one. Who are caring about rule that cutting down tree is crime. In Rajathan cutting green tree is crime and person who will fall down trees will punished with 6 month jail and fine of Rs 10000, It is law but, I never listen that some punished.
