Ingredients:

• Coconut – grated (3/4 cup)
• Red Chillies – 3
• Tamarind – a small marble sized ball
• Salt to taste
• Oil – 2 tbsp

Method:

In a small pan, heat oil and fry the chillies, tamarind and coconut lightly. Remove from heat and allow to cool a little. Then, grind them in a blender with salt and a little water. The consistency should be somewhat like a thogaiyal (with less water). Goes well with pongal, idlis, dosas.
