Thanks everyone! I was thinking of mixing it with a little regular molasses too to keep the bitter/sweet combo. But so helpful to have your opinions weighed in on this one! I LOVE THE FOOD PICKLERS!!
It should absolutely work. it wouldn't be as tart as tamarind, and in addition would have a hint of natural sweetness, (one tends to add a pinch of sugar to most recipes calling for tamarind to cut the acidity). Anardana powder (which is basically dried powdered pomegranate arils) is very commonly used in Indian cuisine as a milder & flavorful substitute for tamarind.
