• Channadal / Kadalebele - 1 cup
• Urad dal/ Uddina bele - 3/4 cup
• Split Moonddal / heserubele- 1/2 cup

• Tamarind- dried about 1tsp
• Dried coconut and Jaggery - 1tbsp grated
• Salt to taste

Tempering : Oil - 1tsp and Hing/asafeotida - 1/4 tsp

1. Dry roast (or roast with little oil), all the above ingredients(except dried coconut, jaggery and salt) till golden brown in colour.
2. Once done, let it cool compeletly to that add dried coconut, jaggery grated, add salt.
3. Using a blender/mixie grind them to fine powder.
4. Heat oil, when hot add hing and add that oil to powder mix well and use as needed.
