Prep 14 min Cook 6 min Serves 6 Easy

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Garlic6 cloves
  • Mustard Seeds1 tsp
  • Curry Leaves1 sprig
  • Dried Red Chilies1 tsp
  • Asafoetidaa pinch
  • Tamarind Paste2 tbsp
  • Coconut Oil1 tbsp
  • Grated Coconut1 cup

Instructions

  1. 1

    Chop, measure and line up; the cooking part is over before the radio finishes a song.

  2. 2

    If the recipe roasts, dry-roast the dried red chilies till aromatic; if fresh, skip straight to grinding.

  3. 3

    Grind the grated coconut with the dried red chilies, tamarind, green chilies and salt to a texture you like — smooth or rustic.

  4. 4

    Balance the three notes: more tamarind for sour, more chili for bite, salt to make both sing.

  5. 5

    Top with the fried mustard seeds and curry leaves; mix in just before serving for the aroma.

Chef's tip

Tamarind too sour? A spoon of coconut milk calms it.
