Chinta Chiguru Podi or powder with tender tamarind leaves is a very seasonal side dish for rice. We do not get it after this season. Once tender tamarinds started coming into the markets, tender leaves stops coming. They have little sour and little pungent in taste. Once they are cooked or add with any spice powders, the pungent taste goes off. We can make dal, chutney and podi with it. We need to make some preparation before hand to make any dish with it. We cannot discard each leaf from the stem, but we have to do it. A simple technique to discard is just press fistful of leaves between the palms and separate them. By doing so we can separate the leaves and small stick like stems easily.
