Take about 2 cup of tamarind & soak it for about 20 mins in warm water. If you want to keep the Puliyogare gojju for more than week in room temperature then you have to follow this method, it is, you have to get thick  syrup of tamarind like a sauce by boiling it until it loses all the water content & gets a sauce like consistency.
If jaggery has sand/stone particles, can make a thin syrup, filter it and add to tamarind syrup while boiling.

Now let the tamarind paste cool to room temperature.
Take a kadai add oil, heat it, add groundnuts, urad, bengal dal fry until they become golden brow, remove them, add curry leaves, crushed garlic cloves, red chilies fry them for a while, remove them from heat.
Now add Puliyogare powder, fry it for few seconds, add tamarind paste, jaggery powder, salt, coconut gratings fry altogether.

Mix the fried goundnuts, dals, curry, chillies to the gojju after its cooled down.
Can transfer it to a air tight container once its cooled.

If you want to make it instantly, not interested in storing, that wld lessen your work in a way, that is you need not to boil the tamarind syrup to get it thick sauce like consistency & no fear of getting spoiled the gojju if water content is left out in it.
But you shld boil it until you get a thick consistency as shown in below picture.

Everything is same as explained previously. 

Puliyogare Gojju is ready.
