a. To make tamarind pulp, clean up the Tamarind by discarding seeds, skin or any unwanted particles. Heat 1/4 cup of water and soak tamarind in it for about 5 to 10 minutes in a bowl. Mash the tamarind mixture and pass through a filter. Set it aside.
b. To make Jaggery water, take Jaggery in a bowl and crush it. Heat 1/4 cup of water and soak crushed jaggery in it for about 5 to 10 minutes in a bowl. Once the jaggery is dissolved, filter the mixture (optional) and set it aside.

In a mixing bowl, mix together thick Coconut Milk, Tamarind Pulp, Jaggery Water, Green Chilly Paste and Salt. Adjust the taste by adding tamarind pulp or jaggery water, if required.
Simultaneously, to make tempering, heat ghee in a small pan. Add the Cumin seeds and saute till it crackles. Then add the Curry leaves, slit Red Chillies and Asafoetida. Turn off the flame. Now pour the tempering on the Coconut Milk mixture.
