When the oil is hot add the mustard seeds and red chillies and let them crackle. Add the curry leaves, asafoetida, black gram and Bengal gram. Strain the tamarind and add the tamarind water to the pan and stir well. Add the ground rice and sauté for a while. Add water according to desire. Cover with a lid, simmer and cook. Check at regular intervals if there is enough water and is the rice cooked. Since its ground rice it may be quick to stick to the bottom and so keep stirring on and off. Serve hot with pudina chutney.
