A cousin of mine makes excellent pulikachal. It's supposed to be spicy and mixed with rice and eaten.
Here is her recipe.
Mix tamarind with water, heat it a little, extract the tamarind juice and boil. Add groundnuts roasted for a couple of minutes. Sautee mustard, haldi powder. Add all this and salt to the tamarind - water.
Roast urad dal (a little), chana dal and red chilies, solid hing and very little methi and grind the mixture. Add this also to tamarind water. Add a little curry leaves also. My cousin said too much methi gives the product a sambar like taste. A lot of gingelly oil needs to be added. Groundnut skin has to be peeled.
Heat and stir the mixture until its like a paste. After I make it myself I will insert pictures.
