Method
4 steps- Combine the turkey with the tamarind paste and leave it for 15 minutes.

Recipe notes
Helpful tips
- This recipe is the turkey larb only. The mango sticky rice shown in the video is a separate dessert.
- For roasted rice powder, toast dry white rice until fragrant and brown, then grind coarsely. Measure the amount needed for the larb.
- The source lists 1/2 cup mint as 110g; this volume/weight pairing needs clarification before a reliable nutrition calculation.
