Hi aarthi, no need to add tamrind pulp?
Aarthi
@Sangeethathe raw mango which i added made it sour. you can taste it and add tamarind if it needs
gorantala
@ Sangeetha either one will do, but tamarind is available round the year so go for it, but when Mango season comes try with Raw mango it gives a distinct punch to your taste buds.
@Aarthi your energy level is gr8, I c regular recipes floating on nearly daily basis. Keep going u rock.

Great blog Aarthi! I have just made sambhar masala using your recipe. Going to try this sambhar now. Minus the bhindi, plantain and raw mango as i can not get them here in scotland 🙁 i studied with a konkani girl at uni and her mum used to make a narriyal chatni which was dark brown but i cant find a recipe for it. Would you happen to have a recipe for it?it would be much appreciated if you do.
