Mustard seeds/ sarson - 2 tsp

Oil - 4 - 5 tbsp

Step by step recipe

Heat 2 tsp oil and add hing, dals and dry roast the dals till light brown .

Roast dry chillies .

Keep aside.

Add cleaned and dried coriander leaves in hot pan and just stir sometime without changing its colour.

Then blend all above ingredients with a small piece of tamarind and salt to taste.

Sprinkle little water to bring all together.

Heat 1 tbsp oil and add mustard seeds.Once they crackle add the blended paste and cook for two - three minutes.

Once cooled store in a jar .

You can store this for a month if stored properly with enough oil, by keeping in the sun and mixing time to time.

You can otherwise store in fridge and use a clean spoon everytime.

It will substitute for a pickle .
