4. Methi seeds (1/2 table spoon)
5. Mustard seeds (1/4 table soon)
6. Red chilly powder
7. Sugar/Jaggery
8. Salt
9. Tamarind

Procedure:

1. Fry Toordal in little Oil, till it gives nice flavour (or till 10 mins in medium flame)
2. Roast Dry coconut pieces for about 5-10 mins
3. Fry Mustard, Methi and dhania seeds in little oil fo about 5 mins.
   
4. Add all the above into a mixer along with tamarind, sugar, salt, chilly powder, water and grind it nicely. Check for the consistency and add water if needed.
   
5. Once grinding is done, transfer the content to a bowl and mix with regular tempering (with Mustard seeds,hing, red chillies, curry leaves etc)
