Hunase gojju or tamarind gojju recipe explained with step by step pictures and a video. This is very tasty hunase hannina gojju, which is served with pongal. This tamarind gojju tastes good with rice too. This is a Karnataka style tamarind gojju prepared using jaggery, tamarind, salt, green chilli and rasam powder.
This is a very easy recipe that can be prepared in just 5 minutes. It tastes too good with rice and you will end up eating more rice. I would say this is a beginner friendly or bachelor friendly recipe.
