Cumin-1/4 tsp

Method:

First of all I did the version I preferred. We can grind tuvar dal,pepper corns,coriander seeds,cumin seeds and red chili.. but I used the roasted and grounded store bought powder and substituted tuvar dal water instead of frying and grinding tuvar dal.

Grind ginger and garlic together.and keep aside.

In a vessel add tamarind water,tomato,grounded ginger and garlic paste,turmeric powder,asafetida,salt,pepper powder,coriander powder,cumin powder to it.

Allow it to boil for 5 mins on high and then add the thuvar dal water and then after it becomes frothy add coriander leaves and curry leaves to it.

Then temper it with red chili,mustard and cumin on to it.
