Looking for VIABLE seeds and/or cuttings of sweet tamarind (tamrindus indica)

[Lory]

Hello! I'm looking for VIABLE seeds and/or cuttings of sweet tamarind (tamrindus indica).
I tried several times to germinate seeds from the pods i bought in supermarket (a very sweet variety from Thailand) but all my attempts have been unsuccessful

Try and soak seeds in water for a week.

I will try, some say it's necessary to BOIL them for a couple of minutes but i never tried I'm afraid to kill them.
Until now all the seeds i planted got rotten without sprouting :-(

i left mine out in the hot sun
and in a mostly sandy mix that dried out more than once.
2 of 4 germinated and are growing nicely now.
(ive added compost and vermiculite)
i did water them with a mix of worm tea and fish emulsion.

and , if i remember right, i scarred the seedcoat
but, did not soak them, or do any other treatment.

here is a paper on germinating them.
