Recipe share by Raksha. Thanks!

Ingredients used:
2-3 medium onions roughly chopped
4-5 garlic cloves(optional)
3 tsp urad dal
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
5-6 red chillies
1/2 fistful groundnuts(optional)
1/2 cup coriander leaves
1/5 lemon sized tamarind
5-6 curry leaves
1/4 tsp mustard seeds
2 pinches of hing/asafoetida
Salt to taste
Cooking oil- 1 tsp

How to make:
Warm oil. Roast urad dal and red chillies. Make sure they slightly change colour and don't get burnt. Scoop out the seasoning into a mixer jar, leaving the oil behind in the pan. Fry groundnuts and garlic and onions in this oil. Transfer this as well into the mixer. Add tamarind, salt and coriander leaves to this. When the roasted ingredients cool down, grind them all into a fine paste. Season with crackled mustard seeds, curry leaves and hing/asafoetida.
Serve with idli/dosa/ chapati.
