MATERIALS:
- Urad daal-2 handfulls

- Dhania/Corriander seeds-1 handful
- Jeera-1 tsp
- Red chillies-2 handfulls.

- After 10 minutes of time , dry grind all the fried daals ,along with tamarind into a fine/coarse powder according to your taste,add salt mix well..and store in a container.
- The cooking time was 1+1+2+1=5 minutes
- Check the time, as there will be variations in the power capacity of microwave ovens.
- I use this powder for idlis/dosas,and also for stuffed brinjal currry/guthhi vankaya kura.
- Place a kadai on the stove and dry roast the materials one by one.
- First add channa and urad daals to the kadai and roast for 2 to 3 minutes in medium temp.
- Then add groundnuts,and roast for a while of 1min.
- Then add red chillies,dhania and jeera,and roast ,and switch off after it is done.
- Then after it is cool add dry tamarind and dry grind into powder.
