Ingredients

To temper

Method

1. In a pan, heat 1 tsp oil, roast 1 tbsp chana dal, 2 red chillies. Once chana dal is golden, add black pepper, garlic, roughly chopped onion, tomato, curry leaves.



2. Once tomatoes are soft, transfer to a plate and cool down completely. 



3. Transfer to a mixer and grind smoothly with salt. Add water to get right consistency you need.



4. This is optional, if you want you can temper with mustard, urad dal and curry leaves in a tsp of oil.

Notes

• I added 3 red chillies, but it was too spicy, so reduced one chilli in the recipe.
