3. Grind them along with fresh coriander, green chillies & salt into a smooth paste using as much water as you need.
4. Transfer ground paste into a cooking vessel. Add enough water to make a watery saaru. It will thicken considerably on cooking & on cooling down. So keep it watery in consistency to begin with.
