    1. Prepare Tamarind Extract:<\/strong>\n
        \n
      • Squeeze the soaked tamarind to extract the pulp. Strain the pulp to remove any seeds or fibers. Set aside the tamarind extract.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Cook Garlic:<\/strong>\n
          \n
        • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic cloves and saut\u00e9 until they turn light golden brown. Remove them from the pan and set aside.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Prepare Spice Mix:<\/strong>\n
            \n
          • In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Add fenugreek seeds, dried red chilies, and curry leaves. Saut\u00e9 for a minute until fragrant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Add Onions and Tomatoes:<\/strong>\n
              \n
            • Add chopped onions to the pan and saut\u00e9 until they turn translucent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they turn mushy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Add Spice Powders:<\/strong>\n
                \n
              • Stir in coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for another couple of minutes until the spices are fragrant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Combine Tamarind Extract:<\/strong>\n
                  \n
                • Pour in the tamarind extract and water. Mix everything well and bring it to a boil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Simmer:<\/strong>\n
                    \n
                  • Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the curry simmer for about 10-15 minutes until it thickens slightly and the raw smell of tamarind disappears.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Add Garlic:<\/strong>\n
                      \n
                    • Add the saut\u00e9ed garlic cloves to the curry and simmer for another 5 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Garnish and Serve:<\/strong>\n
                        \n
                      • Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and turn off the heat. Your garlic tamarind curry is ready to serve!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
