1 tablespoon green corainder leaves chopped
2-3 curry leaves
4-5 cups of water

1/2 teaspoon haldi
1 tablespoon Khatti dal Masala ( Recipe given below )
Bhagnari Khatti dal masala ingredients are - 1 tablespoon rai
1 tablespoon corainder seeds
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
2 whole red chillies.

Instructions

Prepare the Khatti dal masala and keep aside. This is generally made in bulk and stored in the fridge. My measurments will yield masala for 2 times use.
Take a thick bottom pan and heat on slow flame. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and all the masala ingredients.
Let them roast/ fry till smell of fried masala emanates. Stir continuously so that they donot burn.
Cool and crush coarsely in mortar and pestle. Can grind also, but taste changes slightly. Store in fridge and use as needed.
Boil the dal along with 3 cups of water, salt, red chilli powder, haldi, salt, green chillies till 3 whistles.
Let the pressure of the cooker decrease on its own. Open the lid, and mash the dal lighlty.
Again, keep it on low flame.
Add 2 cups more water to adjust its consistency.
Add the curry leaves.
In another pan, take 1 tablespoon oil on low flame. Add the Khatti dal masala , jeera, rai, till they all splutter. Add this tadka to the dal.
Continue boiling the dal till it all comes together. Adjust water quantity according to the consistency and thickness required.
When the dal is properly boiled, shut off the flame.
Add the tamarind water. Let the dal stand covered for 10 minutes before serving with plain boiled rice or Jeera rice.
