Lovely dish. Very very easy and simple too. Everybody must be wondering (just like me b4 I made it) menthya / methi seeds don’t they get bitter !!!. No it wont. It is mixed with tamarind and jaggery which gives a tangy & spicy taste. Try this with chapathi OR plain rice.
Ingredients- Menthya / Menthyu / Fenugreek seeds - 1 tsp
- Kempu mensinakai / Choop malaka / Red Chillies - 2 or 3 (whole)
- Thengina thuri / Thenga / Coconut ,grated - 1/4 cup
- Hunsehannu rasa / Puli / Tamarind paste /juice - 1/2 tsp
- Bella / Vellu / Jaggery - 2 tsp
- Salt to taste
For Tempering
- 1/2 tsp oil
- 1/2 tsp sasive / kadag / mustard seeds
- A pinch of Asafoetida / Hing / Perangyum
Method
- Take a pan add 1/4 tsp oil then add fenugreek seeds and chillies fry till both are fried
- Grind the fried seeds and chillies along with tamarind, jaggery and coconut add a little bit of water make a smooth paste
- Heat pan add the grinded masala bring to boil add salt and stir for 2 min and remove from the flame
- Heat small pan add oil and add mustard seeds allow to splutter add hing and pour it into gojju. Gojju is ready
- Serve hot with chapathi or rice
