• a clove of garlic
• 1 inch piece of ginger peeled and coasely chopped
• juice of 2 limes
• 1 tsp cumin powder

• salt and pepper to taste start with 1/2 tsp of kosher salt and add from there if needed
• 1-2 Tbsp water
• 1 Tbsp jaggery (or brown sugar) optional - if you want it more like the stuff you get at your Indian grocer
