4.Jaggery.........2 tbsp(optional)

5.Turmeric powder,hing a pinch

6.Any vegetable like bendhi,drum stick,brinjal,onion,garlic etc...1 cup chopped(i used bitter gourd here).

Procedure:

1.Heat half spoon of oil in a kadai,fry all the 'to grind' ingredients.Grind the fried items to a paste with needed water.Keep it aside.

2.Heat rest of the oil in a kadai,splutter mustard seeds and fry the chopped veggies.

3.Once the veggies are done,add in the grounded paste,salt,turmeric powder and hing.Add 2 cups of water.Let it boil until it shrinks to half the amount in the volume.

4.Add jaggery and let tis boil for few more minutes.Switch off the flame once it is done.Serve with hot rice.

This tastes heaven when served with urad papad,onion vadagam and potato fry.Try tis out and pour in ur feedback.Cooking time takes roughly from 20 to 30 mintues.
