Method
1. Cut dosakai to
half and scoop out the seeds. Set seeds aside.
Note: Check if the seeds are bitter;
check the piece of dosakai too. Do not use if the pieces or the seeds are
bitter. If the seeds or the pieces are sour take care while you add tamarind
paste or lime juice.
2. Dry roast the
ingredients in “To Grind”.
3. Cut dosakai to
fine pieces.
4. Grind the roasted
ingredients with half of the seeds. Add garlic, lime or lime juice and salt.
Grind the mixture. The ground mixture becomes a thick slightly coarse paste.
Note: Add little water if required. I
have not added water, the juice of the seeds and lime was enough for
grinding.
5. Heat oil and
season with the above ingredients. Just before switching off the seasoning
add finely cut dosakai pieces and mix. Switch the stove off.
6. Transfer the
seasoned pieces to a bowl. Mix the ground mixture with your fingers.
7. Garnish with
coriander leaves and serve.
