                         Oil                                       - 2 tsp
                         Salt                                      - as needed.
METHOD;
                Soak the tamarind in little water n extract the juice.
                Wash the sponge gourd n remove the skin.
                Cut in to pieces and boil it in water.
                Drain the water,cool it,put it in mixie and give 2 or 3 whips.
                Take it out and mix with tamarind juice n set aside.
