Hai friends today i am coming with Chinta Chiguru podi.I got this recipe from Hari Chandana.She is very good at traditional recipes.I love all her recipes.Do check her blog to get more and wonderful recipes.I saw this recipe from her and thought that here we dont get this leaves.But one day when i went to Hong Kong Market there i found this leaves i was really very surprised to see this leaves soon i bought this leaves and go through the Chandana blog there i got the recipe and try this.I exactly copy her recipe and want to share with u guys.

Ingredients:

Tamarind Leaves -1 cup
Ground nuts-4 tsp
Chana dal-2 tsp
Coriander seeds-2 tsp
Dry red chillies-7 to 8(Acc to taste)
Garlic pods-2
Salt to taste
Oil-1 tsp

Method:

First remove the stems of the tamarind leaves and clean well with the water.
Drain the water and make it dry for some time on a plate arranged by a paper.
In the mean time we have to roast the remaining ingredients.
Place the pan and pour the oil and heat it.
When it gets heat add the sliced garlic and fry until the raw smell goes.
Now add the chana dal,ground nuts and fry for 2 minutes.
Finally add the coriander seeds and the chillies and fry all changes the colour to light brown off the heat and make it cool.
Now in the smae pan add the oil and fry the tamarind leaves until it turns to crispy.
remove frrom the heat and make it cool.
Now take both the items,salt and blend together to form nice and yummy powder.
Take this powder in the airtight box and serve hot with steamed rice.
