  1. Battered dudhi fingers Method 1. For the tamarind dipping sauce: put the tamarind into a small bowl, add 180ml warm water, and use your fingers to gently tease the ball apart and dissolve a little of the pulp in the liquid. Set aside for 5 minutes, then use your fingers again to rub more of the softened tamarind into the liquid. Strain through a fine sieve into a medium bowl, pressing on any remaining tamarind with the back of a spoon; discard the solids.

  2. Crush the chillies with a pestle and mortar and add to the bowl of tamarind liquid. Stir in the coriander, garlic, sugar, fish sauce, lime juice and a pinch of salt to taste, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Transfer to a small serving bowl and set aside.

  3. Whisk the rice flour, glutinous rice flour, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl. Gradually add 275ml water, whisking until the batter is smooth. Set aside, at room temperature, for 30 minutes.

  4. Heat enough peanut oil for deep-frying until hot. Dip the dudhi into the batter then fry in the hot oil, in batches, for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden and crisp.

  5. Drain on paper towels, sprinkle with salt and serve hot with the tamarind dipping sauce.
