Instructions

  • Grind the shallots, tamarind, chilies and salt to a fine paste without adding any water.
  • Heat a kadai with oil and add the mustard seeds.
  • Once the mustard seeds crackle, add the hing, curry leaves and the ground paste.
  • Now, let the paste simmer till the raw smell of shallots disappears and the oil separates from the mixture.
