4. 2 tbsp sugar or more ,donot put any sugar if you have diabetics
5. 1/2 cup vineger as preservative

You can use Patch puran whole spices (Roasted).
Preparation:

2.Mix with tamarind paste.
2.Heat a nonstick cooking pan with oil (do not use any silver colored steel pan)
then add all the ingredients including garlic-tamarind mixture.Cook it for 45 min. in a medium to low heat.
until everything turns out into dark brown to black.
3.Stir the gravy occasionally so that it does not get burned or get sticked in the pan while cooking for 45 to 50 mintues.
4.After it gets dark brown and smell is all around , let it cool down for 2 hours and pour it in a glass or plastic jar.After cooking you can discard bay leaf .
Enjoy and have fun.
P.S The reason why I put the optional ingredients is that many people donot like the smell of various spices.If you want ,you can skip any of the optional ingredients.But if you put all the spices in the pickle , the pickle will turn out really good.
