What is Irani Imli Jelly (Lawashak)?
Irani Imli Jelly (also known as lawashak or tamarind fruit leather) is made by processing tamarind into a smooth pulp and drying it into thin, chewy sheets or rolls. This process concentrates the sour-sweet flavor of tamarind, transforming it into a chewy candy-like treat. The result is a soft, tangy-sweet snack with rich fruity taste — a nostalgic favorite for many across South Asia and the Middle East.
