For Chutney - Heat a pan add 1 tsp oil, put urad dal and channa dal.
Saute them till light brown, then add the groundnut, garlic, tamarind, salt as needed and saute them for a few seconds.
Transfer this to a mixer jar, add a little water and grind them to a fine paste.
For tempering heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds. After they splutter, add urad dal and saute till light brown. Add curry leaves. Transfer the tempering on to the chutney.
For Upma - Dry roast the rava and keep it aside.
In a pan, heat oil and add mustard seeds. After it pops, add urad dal, curry leaves and then add onions.
Saute the onion till translucent then add green chillies and saute.
Add the tomatoes and cook them till they are mushy.
Add water about 2 cups and allow them to boil.
After it boils add the rava by constantly stirring or else there might be lump formation. So stir constantly while you are pouring the rava in the boiling water mixture.
Stir them well and cool them for little while till the upma comes together.
Drizzle some ghee if needed.
Make the dosas when they are done place the upma in the center and fold them like a triangle just like you do for masala dosa. Serve them with peanut chuney and enjoy.
