Ingredients
7 garlic cloves
10 dried red chillies ( dry roast )
4–5 shallots / sambar onions
a small piece tamarind – marble size
1/2 tomato
1/4 cup Indian sesame oil
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon jaggery
Instructions
Dry roast the chillies. Set aside.
Take a small mixie jar and add all the ingredients to the mixie. Do not add any water. Pulse several times so it all comes together as a fine paste.
Grind to a fine paste.
Now comes the important step. The chutney needs to rest for a couple of hours so everything can marinate well in the oil and the flavours will develop.
Mola saandhu is ready. Serve with idli or dosa.
