1/2 inch Ginger piece
2 Tbsp Roasted Groundnuts
Small piece of Tamarind
Salt to taste
1/2 Tbsp Oil

Now add Tamarind and ginger piece, saute for half a minute and remove.
Add everything and grind to a smooth paste adding salt and little water.
Remove and serve with hot rice.

Notes :

• Coconut pieces can also be added before grinding, it gives rich flavor.
• Tempering can also be done using mustard seeds and urad dal. Basically i prepared this for rice, if you want to serve with idli or dosa, serve after tempering and adjust the consistancy of chutney by adding water.
• If this chutney served for rice, consistancy should be thick not watery.
• Urad dal can also be used instead of groundnuts.
• Adjust red chillies according to your spicy level.
