Gongura pappu (Dhal)

This is something new for me. My mum always do Gongura pachadi or in tamarind only.  I heard this from my Andra friend. This is something I haven’t tasted or posted. So I couldn’t wait to try it out. It was so different than normal sambar and good variation to go with rice.

Asafoetida – a pinch
Urad dhal – 1 teaspoon
Curry leaves – 10
Garlic – 7-10 Pods

Salt per taste
Oil – 2 teaspoon
Tamarind paste – 1/2 teaspoon (Adjust to the sourness of the Gongura)

Method:
