Jaggery – 5 Tbsp (powdered)
Dried ginger powder – 1/2 tsp
Chilli powder – 1/4 tsp
Salt to taste
Cinnamon powder – 1 pinch (optional)
Clove powder – 1 pinch (optional)
- Remove the seeds from tamarind and squeeze out well to get thick pulp
- Heat a pan and add the tamarind pulp and add more water to it. Leave it to boil
