Step 2: Empty the pakodas in cold water. Take coriander leaves, ginger, mint leaves and lemon juice together in a grinding jar. Make a delicious green chutney with that. Empty it into a bowl and add some tamarind paste into it to enhance the taste. Add guava juice and mix well. Add some water as well.
