For temparing

Mustard seeds - 1/4 tspn

Urad dal - 1/ 4 tspn

Oil - 1 tspn

Curry leaves - 3 - 4 nos.

Method:

1) In a pan roast the ground nuts and peel off the dry skin, in the same pan, add onions and garlic pods and fry for a minute (Till the raw smell slightly disappears)
2) Now, add roasted groundnuts, onions, garlic, tamarind paste, salt and green chillies and blend into a course paste.

2) In a small pan, add oil, once hot  add mustard seeds, urad dal, and curry leaves, once they splutter pour this into the above made mixture. and ground nut chutney is ready to serve with dosa, idli, etc..
