When the water comes to a rolling boil, turn off the heat and remove the pan from the gas stove. Cover the pan with a lid for 15 minutes.  After 15 minutes, remove the eggs from hot water and immerse them in ice cold water. Remove the eggs from cold water and peel the eggs. 
To make tamarind pulp, soak a marble sized ball of tamarind in water for 2o to 30 minutes. Mash with your hands. Strain and use the pulp.
