Put 1 tsp ghee in a pan and heat. Add sun dried gooseberry pieces, black pepper and fry them in low flame until it puffs up as shown in the picture below.

Grind coconut along with fried gooseberry, green chilly into smooth paste by adding required amount of water. (If it is frozen coconut, use hot water while grinding.)

Add this ground coconut to a vessel. Add buttermilk, required amount of water, salt(if required) to the same vessel and mix them well. (If it is yogurt/curd, put it in a mixer for few seconds before adding it to Tambli.)

Remove the outer cover of garlic, mash them and put it in a pan. Add 1 tsp ghee and fry them in low flame until they turn golden in colour. Add mustard seeds, broken red chillies and fry them in low flame. Once it starts spluttering, add curry leaves and add it to Tambli. Mix well before serving. It goes well with rice.
