  • In a pan add oil and throw in the mustard seeds. When it splutters add the chopped green chilies and saute till it becomes light brown in color.
  • Be careful at this stage. Keep your Kitchen windows open and use the electric chimney in the kitchen. Stay slightly away from the gas stove as the chili may splutter. Keep the flame in medium.

  • When it is is done, slowly add the tamarind extract and add salt, jaggery ,asafoetida and turmeric powder. The addition of jaggery is to balance the spice.

  • Let this mixture boil in a medium flame for 12 to 15 minutes.
  • My mom always makes it in a thin consistency, but if you want it little thick just boil it for few more minutes.
  • Serve with idli | dosa | curd rice.
