Pound palm sugar until smooth with a mortar and pestle, add lime juice, fish sauce, tamarind water and 80ml water, stir to dissolve sugar, season to taste and set aside.

2.Combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl, add tamarind dressing, toss to coat and serve within an hour scattered with coriander.
