- 3 green chillies
- 5 springs Curry leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon tamarind powder / tamarind pieces
- ½ teaspoon salt

Method:
Grind all the above items together and make a coarse powder.
This chatnipudi with curd is our favorite with akki rotti, jolada rotti and ragi rotti.
If you want to preserve this for long time , fry the dry coconut, green chillies and curry leaves before grinding. However, without frying also you can preserve it by keeping in the refrigerator.
