Add this to a processor along with tamarind paste, salt and ¼ cup
of water. Blend to the consistency of semolina. Now add cumin seeds, garlic,
curry leaves and blend for three minutes. Remove contents to a small dish, add
chopped onion and mix well.
Serve over hot plain rice with a generous helping of butter or as
a light spread on dosa.
Stays good for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
