Instructions
- 1
In a small saucepan, combine the chopped palm sugar, tamarind paste, and 1/4 cup water, then warm over medium-low heat for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring, until the sugar dissolves into a thick syrup.
- 2
Using a mortar and pestle, pound the Thai chiles and salt into a coarse paste, then add the roasted peanuts and crush them roughly so the dressing keeps some texture.
- 3
Stir the chile-peanut paste into the warm tamarind syrup and let the dressing cool to room temperature; taste and balance the sweet, sour, salty, and spicy notes to your liking.
- 4
Place all the cut fruit in a large bowl, pour over the dressing, and toss until every piece is glossy and well coated. Serve immediately while the fruit is cold and crisp, topped with a few extra crushed peanuts.
