1 cup ginger pieces
5 slit green chillies
small lemon size ball or 2 tbs- tamarind
1/4th cup jaggery or 2 blocks of jaggery
Popu or tadka
3 tbs urad dal
3 tbs gram dal

4 fenugreek seeds
4 pinches asafoetida
Salt to taste.

Add a tsp oil and add urad dal, gram dal, jeera, mustard seeds, red chillies, fenugreek and asafoetida and fry till golden brown. Add green chillies and ginger pieces. Add salt and let it cook.
After it is properly cooked, add tamarind and jaggery and mix it well. If you add jaggery well before, then ginger pieces will not cook properly.
Now grind the mixture into smooth paste once it is completely cooled off. Enjoy your chutney with hot idlis, dosas or bondas!
