• Wait for them to cool down and remove the skins by rubbing your hands over them in a plate.
• Bring the cooking oil to a boil, add the urad dal and fry for 30 seconds. Then add the chillies.
• Gradually add methi, mustard and finally hing in that order.
• Put the groundnuts, the fried mixture, tamarind paste and salt in a grinder, add a small amount of water and grind to a paste.
• Serve with idlis or dosas.
