1. In a little oil, roast the tomatoes till the moisture disappears and the tomatoes become a thick paste stirring often to avoid charring. Set aside to cool.
2. Sauté the mustard seeds, red chillies, urad dal, curry leaves, asafoetida. Cool
3.  Grind this with a little bit of tamarind and salt to a fine paste.
4. Serve with rice or rotis.

Tips
You could add a bit of black pepper seeds and reduce the amount of red chillies. The amount of tamarind to be added depends on the taste of tomatoes used The amount of urad dal, personally I use more as I like the crunchiness to the oorupindi. You could microwave the tomatoes with a tsp of oil stirring occasionally instead of doing it on the stove
