Instructions
Extracting the Tamarind Pulp (If you are not using ready-to-use tamarind pulp)
Soak a 1.5" ball of tamarind in 1/2 Cup hot water for 5 to 10 minutes.
Using your fingers mash the tamarind well and squeeze it to extract the pulp.
Discard the tamarind.
Diluting the Tamarind Pulp (If you are using ready-to-use tamarind pulp)
Dissolve the tamarind pulp in 1/2 cup water.
Making the Senaga Pindi Pachadi
Over low to medium heat, dry roast the besan till it becomes aromatic and starts to change colour.
Transfer the roasted into a small vessel and let it cool for five minutes.
If your besan is lumpy, sieve it.
Add the tamarind juice to the roasted besan and mix well to get a smooth paste.
Slowly add 1/2 cup water and salt.
Mix well to get a thick chutney of pouring consistency.
In a ladle, heat the oil.
Add mustard seeds and wait till they splutter.
Add cumin seeds, split red chillies, and curry leaves.
