14-15 clove of garlic

5-6 green chillies (optional)

5-6 Tbsp of Olive/refined oil

2 Tbsp of Vinegar, Salt and sugar to taste

Method:

  1. Wash and soak the dal for about 4-6 hours. Wash it again and drain out the water completely.

2. Wash the curry leaves. Wash and crush the garlic a little. And chop the green chillies.

3. Place curry leaves, garlic and chopped chillies into the grinder. 

4. Add 2 tablespoon vinegar, 5 Tbsp of oil and grind as finely as possible. 

5. Add the dal, salt and sugar to taste  and continue grinding to a fine paste.

6. Add extra oil if needed to make the mixture smooth. Adjust the seasoning.

It is an excellent relish or dip for savoury finger food.

Happy Cooking !
