Cilantro Leaves -1/2 Cup (same amount regardless of quantity)
Instructions
Cut lemons into small pieces
Roast methi seeds until it turns brown
Fry red or green chillies in a teaspoon of oil
Grind all ingredients using lemon juice instead of water. Grind to a smooth paste.
Make 'Oggarnae' with 3-4 tablespoons oil and mustard seeds. Add the lemon paste and cook in the oil for a few minutes while stirring. This will increase the shelf life of the thokku. Store in an air tight container and refrigerate.
Notes
u003cliu003eNote that green chillies are tastier than red chillies in this dish, and it is ok to have small pieces of lemon in the thokku paste.u003c/liu003e
