In a mortar-pestle or mixer grinder, crush or grind garlic, green chili, and a pinch of salt to a coarse paste.

3. Mix together:
Combine the garlic-chili paste with the sattu paste. Add chopped onion, tomato (if using). coriander leaves, and tamarind pulp or lemon juice. Mix well.

4. Seasoning (Tadka):

2. Add mustard seeds, let them splutter.
3. Add dry red chili and curry leaves.
4. Pour this tadka over the sattu chutney and mix well.
