For making the Kodava Sesame Seeds Chutney:

Heat a pan and dry roast the sesame seeds over medium heat.

Heat a small pan over medium heat, add oil. When hot add the mustard seeds, chopped dry chilies and curry leaves when the mustard seeds start to splutter.
Saute till the chilies crisp up. Immediately pour the tadka over the Ellu Pajji and serve.
