A great addition to any meal. Mix with hot white rice and ghee.
WHAT YOU NEED:
About 2 cups of fresh mint. Leaves removed ans stems discarded.
1 tbs chana dal
1 tbs urid dal
pinch of asafoetida
small bit of tamarind soaked in a little water ( i used about half a tbs tamarind in just enough water to cover it in a rice cup)
5 red chillis dry
2 tbs oil
WHAT YOU DO:
1. Heat oil and fry the chana, urid and dry red chillies with the asafoetida.
2. There are two ways to go here. 1. when the above is about half way done throw in the tamarind water and mint leaves and cook till mint cooked being careful not to burn the dals and red chilli.
Alternatively cook the dals and red chilli till done remove and cook the mint and tamarind then combine the two and season with salt and allow to cool then blend(grind together) to a desirable consistency. Should be paste like but not runny paste)
I enjoy this mint pachadi mixed with ghee and rice.
