Menu Description:  "Chunks of Fresh Avocado, Sun-Dried Tomato, Red Onion and Cilantro Deep Fried in a Crisp Chinese Wrapper."

In 1995, Forbes Magazine named Cheesecake Factory in its list of the 200 best small companies in America. At more than 90 stores now, the Cheesecake Factory plans to continue growing grow at a rate of about 11 new restaurants per year, and still does not franchise.

Here's something different that I think you'll really like. The Avocado Eggrolls are one of the most popular appetizers on the menu at the Cheesecake Factory, and it's not hard to see why. The combination of avocado, sun-dried tomatoes, and the cilantro-tamarind sauce is one of the most unique and tasty flavors I've enjoyed at any of the restaurant chains.  The trickiest part might be finding the tamarind pulp at your market. It's a brown, sticky pulp that looks sot of like pureed prunes, and can be found in the spice section or near the ethnic foods -- or try a Middle Eastern market. The pulp sometimes contains the large seeds of the fruit, so be sure to remove them before measuring. If you can't find the tamarind, you can get by substituting smashed raisins or prunes.

I recommend using a food processor for the dipping sauce. The ingredients pooled beneath the blades in my blender making it impossible to chop them properly. I found tamarind pulp in a Mexican market sold with the candies. This recipe really tastes like the real thing, and it is remarkably easy to make!

I served these at a gathering, and it got top marks for taste as well as the delicious sauce. I used tamarind concentrate, since I couldn't find tamarind pulp. I'll definitely make again.

These eggrolls were out of this world amazing! They looked beautiful and tasted even better! The dipping sauce was incredible too! I couldn't find the tamarind pulp and just smashed one or two prunes trying to seperate the sticky brown innards from the tough outer skin, and had to microwave and stir it a little longer than called for, but the sauce came out tasting just like cheesecake factory's sauce. This recipe is sure to impress anybody!

I made these for some friends, and they could not believe how close they taste to the original. I couldn't find tamarind paste, so I used tamarind concentrate, and they still tasted AWESOME!!

This came out great! The only thing I changed was using two egg roll wrappers to make it more rigid, when I only used one it fell apart when I went to cut it. I will make these again.
