Method
Wash & boil the rice. Soak the tamarind in water. Fry the peanuts/cashew nuts. Dry roast the black pepper, urad dal, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds & dry red chillies and grind to a fine powder.
Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds, a pinch of asafoetida and curry leaves. Squeeze the juice of tamarind and pour it into the seasoning. Add salt and let the tamarind juice boil for 2-3 minutes.
Add the powdered ingredients, stir well and cook till oil starts leaving the sides of the pan. Remove from flame and mix it with rice.
