Recipe Cuisine: South Indian; Category: Side dish for tiffins

Prep time: 10 mts; Cooking time: 15 mts

Serves 2-3

All kept ready

In a pressure pan, take oil, season hing and mustard seeds with jeera

Then add all the chopped onions, tomatoes, curry leaves, green chillies etc

Add sambar powder, chilli powder, jaggery  and tamarind paste, along with salt to taste. If your tomatoes are tangy enough, tamarind paste can be avoided. 

Now, add the coriander leaves too, which impart great flavour to the gothsu, and also the rice flour diluted with little bit of water. Cover the lid, and cook for 3 whistles. It will be done to perfect consistency.

Serve it hot with the soft, White Dosas.
