Poondu Karivepilai Saadham

This morning while I was channel hopping, I came across a programme on Jaya TV which was titled Neengalum Samaikkalam (I think!).  The presenter was demonstrating preparing the base for creating this 'saadham'.  I did not watch the whole preparation but think saw enough of the programme to publish this post as the end product looked very similar to pulikaichal which I absolutely adore, but havent managed to cook for a very long time.
I am getting this post done before I forget the recipe, so do not have a photograph of the finished item to publish.  I have not listed the quantity of ingredients as yet, but will prepare this myself and post this when it is done.   I am sure there are many readers who would be able to recreate this dish based on this rough guide!

Ingredients

Dry masala to fry in a little oil and grind when cool
Channa dal
Red Chillies
Dhania (coriander seeds)
Curry leaves

Oil for tempering
Mustard
Channa dal
Red Chillies
Garlic cloves cut into big pieces
Thick tamarind extract
Salt
Cooked and cooled rice.

Roast the ingredients for grinding in a little oil and set aside.  When cool grind to fine powder.
In a pan heat a little oil and temper adding channa dal, mustard and dried red chillies.
Once the mustard splutters, add the chopped garlic pieces and after a few seconds add thick tamarind extract.
Cook till the water content evaporates and it comes together into a dense mass.
Now add the ground powder and cook a few minutes till well mixed.
Add the cooked rice and your saadham is ready.
