Tamarind expiration

I have a block of dried tamarind in the fridge. It’s been there for several months, maybe a year. I wanted to make some imli chutney in a few days for guests. I was wondering what the shelf life is? I bought it from Chicago and I live in the middle of nowhere with no desi grocery store or else I would’ve just gone out and bought another block of dried tamarind and thrown this one out.
Is it still good to use? It looks fine (no fungus or anything)

Re: Tamarind expiration

if its fine just test it by putting some imlee in hot water and taste it if all good make the chutney no worries then

Re: Tamarind expiration

should be fine, as its been refrigerated and is dried. make sure you cook it thoroughly.
