Pressure cook red gram along with little turmeric powder till soft and mash it. Keep it aside.
Heat oil in a pan, add dry red chillies, coriander seeds, bengal gram, curry leaves and roast them until they turn slightly golden brown in color. Allow them to cool and grind them along with peppercorns to a fine powder. Set aside.
Soak tamarind in 2 cups of water and extract the juice. Take heavy bottomed vessel, add chopped tomatoes and extracted tamarind juice, bring it to boil. Let it boil till the raw smell of tamarind goes.
