1 bunch fresh coriander leaves
2 tbsp Channa Dhal
2 tbsp Urud Dhal
2 tbsp grated coconut
3/4 onion chopped
4 curry leaves
2 green chilies (or more according to the spice level)
1 inch tamarind (little according to the sour taste)
Salt as needed
Pour a little oil in a pan and add one by one all the ingredients in the above list except coriander leaves, once the onions are nicely sautéed, finally switch off the stove and add grated coconut and then grind everything in a mixer with fresh coriander leaves. This goes well with Rice/Idly and Dosa.
On rice, put some ghee and add this, mix it well. It will be so good.
Similarly we can do Pudhina Thovayal (Mint Thovayal). A small modification is we have to sauté the mint along with the rest of the ingredients. Don't grind it raw like coriander leaves.
These can also be used as spreads for the bread, for breakfast.
