COOKING OIL - 3 tsp, minutes.
SALT - To taste
After 5 minutes, keep stirring it every 2 minutes so that the contents do not get burnt in the
bottom of the kadai. After 15 minutes add sugar and stir. When the chillies get well cooked
and soft the masala and the tamarind water together becomes a well mixed gravy and the
oil starts floating on top of the gravy. Now remove it from the stove and serve it with plain
rice, chappatis, dosas, or curd rice as a side dish.
Tips:
# Do not reheat this dish once the preparation is over.
# Depending on the individual's preference for hot taste one can add or reduce the number
of green chillies and the amount of sugar.[too much sugar will destroy the authenticity of
the dish]
Storage:
Store this after the dish cools down in a dry porcelain dish or a clean dry bottle with an air
tight cover. Take care not to use moist/ wet spoon. This will be good for 10 days in normal
cool room temperature. If refrigerated it will stay good for about 20 days.
