  • Peel shallots/pearl onions. I know peeling pearl onions is a time consuming work. Tips to make it easier - trim the head (root side) and tail of the onion and soak it in cold water for 15-20 minutes. The skin will come off easily if you peel it after that. Peel shallots and keep it ready. If it is too big, cut it into 2-3 pieces.
  • Soak tamarind in hot water and extract 2 1/2 cup of tamarind juice, discard the pulp.
  • Heat coconut oil, add mustard seeds, jeera seeds, when it sizzles, add fenugreek seeds, red chillies, curry leaves, pearl onions and garlic.
