    Roasted masala: 1 tablespoon( dry roasted cumin seeds, coriander seeds, dry red chili grinded into a coarse powder)
    Black salt: 2 teaspoons

    Lemon juice: 2-3 teaspoons
    Coriander leaves: 1 tablespoon
    Boiled black chana: 1 tablespoon
    Salt as taste
    Red chili powder: 2 teaspoons

DIRECTIONS

– Soak tamarind and add 4-5 tablespoon water and strain the pulp to make a semi thick paste.
