1. In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the roasted chana dal and dry red chillies to the pan. Roast them for a few minutes until they become aromatic and slightly golden. Remove from heat and let them cool down.
2. In a mixer grinder or food processor, add the roasted chana dal and red chillies, along with chopped onions, garlic cloves, tamarind pulp, and salt.
