- Pour 1tbsp oil in a hot pan
- Temper the oil with mustard seeds, cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds (methi), urid dhal, channa dhal – 0.5tsp each
- Add a pinch of hing, few curry leaves, 1 red chilly
- Add 2tbsp of any vathal – I used Manathakkali Vathal

- Add 1 medium chopped onion
- Add salt to taste and fry untill onions brown slightly
- Add a pinch of turmeric
- Add 1 large Tomato – finely chopped
- Fry till oil leaves the sides
- Add 1tbsp of any store bought Vathal kolambu powder
- I used Sakthi brand
- (You can also use Sambar powder)
- Fry for few seconds
- Optional: Add 1 tsp of coconut powder (I don’t)
- Add 1 cup tamarind juice
- Let it boil for 2 mins
- Add 2.5 cups of water and let it cook for another 30 mins
- You can adjust the water and cooking time per your desired consistency
- If using Sambar powder, to thicken the curry, you may add 1 tsp of rice flour mixed with little water and cook it till the curry thickens
- Add 0.5tsp of sugar or little jaggery and simmer for 2 mins
- Toss couple of curry leaves and serve with hot rice and appalam/chips
- This curry keeps well in fridge for 1 week if no coconut is added
