Ingredients

Coconut gratings – 1/2 cup
Curry leaves – 1 cup

Bengal gram dhal – 1 tablespoon
Urad dhal – 1 tablespoon
Tamarind – a small gooseberry size

Salt – ¾ teaspoon

Directions

Heat oil in a kadai and begin by frying the asafoetida, dhals, and red chillies. Just before you finish frying, add the curry leaves and reduce the stove to its lowest setting. Allow the curry leaves to fry for about a minute to infuse the oil with their aroma.
Then, add coconut and tamarind to the kadai and continue frying the mixture for an additional minute, ensuring the flavors meld together.
After frying, take the kadai off the heat and let the ingredients cool down. Once cooled, add salt to the mixture and grind everything into a thick paste.
