Combine the palm sugar, chili, tamarind, and salt in a mixing bowl, and, using your hands, squeeze them together until they form a rough paste.

Add the water, a bit at a time, and keep massaging the ingredients together until all the sugar chunks and tamarind have dissolved and a watery sauce has formed.
