Red Chillies (Round One's) 8-10 , Coriander powder , Red Chilli Powder , Sambhar Powder ( Available One),  Little of Pepper Powder, Turmeric , Little of Methi, Little of Groundnuts , Little of Chana Dal, Little of Tuar Dal , Curry Leaves, Little of White Sesame Seeds ( If you roast and grind? ) , Black Tamarind , Very Little of Gur (Jaggery) Gingerly Oil , Hing ,  Salt .

My twist , I add Onion, Tomato my granny used to make it without onion / tomato  :)

1
Chop Onion tomato nicely , wash Red Chilies, Curry Leaves. Soak Tamarind in water for Half hour. 
2
Heat Good amount of Gingerly Oil in pan add  , Add Cumins , Add Onion / Garlic and Fry it till its golden. Ensure Saunf /Cumin does not burn. Add finely chopped tomato & coriander leaves fry it nicely add salt to taste. Cook it till you see oil out.
3
Add Marinated Chilies and cook for 5 minutes . Add Red Chilli Powder , Coriander powder , chilli powder ( if you want spicy add more ) let it cook for 10 min. You would see greenish orange gravy....
4
The last step is to add the remaining curd ( 200 Gms) beat it nicely and add it cook for 5 minutes in low heat... I used curd / tomato instead of tamarind as curd will give a creamy look.
Note : I am bad at measurements
