2. Keep aside for about 20 minutes.
3. Heat a Skillet, add oil and fry all the spices mentioned under whole spices on medium high heat for 2-3 minutes and remove out on a plate.
4. On the same skillet, fry sliced onions and garlic on medium high until onions turn translucent.
5. This will take about 5 minutes.
6. Now, add grated coconut and saute till coconut changes color to light brown.
7. That is about 6-7 minutes.
8. Switch off the heat.
9. Add a teaspoon turmeric powder, mix well and remove from heat.
10. Allow the mixture to cool down for some time.
11. Grind the roasted spices along with fried coconut onions and tamarind using a cup of water to smooth paste.
