Add the jaggery and the cooked vegetables and mix in. PS- You might wonder why tamarind and kokum (both of which are souring agents) are used together in this recipe, well the tamarind imparts the tang to the curry and the kokum provides the reddish dark hue and a touch of extra sourness too which is balances the sweet flavours of the jaggery.
