Yummy, finger licking (or should I say plate/spoon licking) good, tantalizes your taste buds when you have that bitter kinda taste on your tongue when sick...Well I could go on & on about this Gojju
:-) This can go along with lot many dishes like pongal, chapathi, dosa, rotti & not to forget with plain rice & a spoon of ghee... yummmm...

Ingredients:

Tamarind extract - 1 cup
Jaggery - 1 1/2 tbsps
Rasam pwd - 1 tbsp
salt to taste
Onion - 1 medium
Curry leaves - 1 strand
mustard - 1 tsp
hing - 1/2 tsp

Method:
