Hey Chitra I have tried it and let me tell u it tastes deliciously yummy, and yes we need not worry about milk getting affected as it gets cooked

Milk will be cooked with daal. So when you put tamarind pulp stir it with hand mixer, it will not affect milk to curdle. It will turn tasty try it.

Dear Chitra,if we add tamarind, the milk will not curdle?Just a querry?
