Method:
1) Prepare the dough for ambode as indicated in Ambode recipe. However, instead of deep frying, we'll be steaming the ambode

3) Grind roasted chana dal, coconut, pepper corns, green chili, turmeric powder into a fine paste with 2-3 tbsp of water
4) Heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds and wait for it to splutter.
5) Add cumin seeds, dried red chili, curry leaves, beans and fry for 10-15 seconds
6) Reduce heat and add the paste. Fry for a minute.
7) Increase the heat, add 1 cup of water but take care to add it 2-3 tbsp at a time (so that lumps are not formed). Bring it to boil, it should start to thicken.
8) Add yogurt, tamarind paste. Check for salt. If its too thick, add water as needed.
9) Add ambode, bring it to boil.
DONE!!

Serve with rice or ragi mudde
