Ingredients:

2) Water = 2 Cups
3) Tamarind = Small Lemon Size. ( Soak the tamarind in a cup of warm water)
4) Green Chillies (Pachhi mirchi) = 2-3 Pieces (Cut in length wise)
5) Chilly Powder (Karamu) = 1/4 Tbl Spoon.
6) Ginger (Allamu) = 1/2 Tbl Spoon.
7) Salt = Acc to taste.
8) Turmeric powder = 1/4 Spoon.
9) Coriander Leaves (Kottimera) = 1Tbl Spoon.
10) Mustard seeds (Avalu) = 1/4 Spoon.
11) Cumin seeds = 1/2 Tbl Spoon.
12) Urad dal (Minapappu) = 1/4 Spoon.
13) Red chillies (Yandu mirapakayalu) = 1Piece.
14) Curry leaves (Karivepaaku) = 1 Spring.
15) Oil = 1 Tbl Spoon.
       
Method:

1) Take a small vessel add 1tbl spoon of oil add mustard seeds and wait for them to splutter then add Cumin Seeds, Urad dal, Red chillies, Ginger, Curry leaves and fry until it comes in golden color.
2) Extract juice from Soaked tamarind.
3) Boil the tamarind  juice along with Green Chillies once or twice.
4) Then add chick peas flour mix with 2 cups water and cook in low flame, you can add water further as required.
5) Then add Turmeric powder, Salt, Chilly powder and cook for few minutes then it becomes thick. (If we cook this for long time with how much ever the water you add, it becomes thick.) So cooking with 2 cups maximum 2 1/2 cups would be sufficient for few minutes.
6) If you are doing it for very first time, need to be careful otherwise it will become too thick or too watery.
7) Switch off the stove and keep the vessel off from the stove.
8) Garnish with coriander leaves.

Note : While cooking the chick pea flour chutney if it becomes very thick add some water.


This will be very tasty and can be served with Idli / Dosa.
