Instructions
- First, cut the pirandai at each nodes and then using a knife, scrap the sharp thin edges. Then chop it into small pieces. Be careful with this step as the plant can cause itchiness and skin irritation.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet and roast red chili, urad dal and asafetida until urad dal is golden in color. Keep aside to cool.
- In the same skillet, add rest of the oil and sauté the chopped pirandai on a medium flame with constant stirring, until the color becomes light.
- Powder the chili, salt, tamarind and asafetida into a coarse powder.
- Add the sautéed pirandai to the powder and grind again.
- Lastly add urad dal and grind to a coarse thick paste. Check for salt.
- Serve.
