Heat oil in a pan, add cumin seeds, dry red chilis and fry for a minute.
Add chopped onions, curry leaves and turmeric. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add water, salt, coriander powder, soaked tamarind (with water) and let it boil for 10 minutes.
Serve with steamed rice, plain dal, vegetable fry or non-vegetarian recipes (check out recipe links above).
Notes
Soak tamarind in normal water for 10 minutes or add it to boiled water and mash it slightly before adding into the recipe.
You can add jaggery as well while boiling for that sweet taste.
