Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain yogurt
- 3 tablespoons gram flour (besan)
- 4 cups water
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 0.5 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
- 10 leaves curry leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon asafoetida (hing)
- 2 green chilies, slit
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the plain yogurt and gram flour until smooth.
Add water gradually to the yogurt mixture, continuing to whisk to form a smooth and lump-free batter.
Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, and ginger garlic paste to the yogurt mixture and stir well to combine.
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and fenugreek seeds. Let them splutter for a few seconds.
Add curry leaves, asafoetida, and slit green chilies to the pan and sauté for a minute until fragrant.
Slowly pour the yogurt mixture into the saucepan while continuously stirring to prevent curdling.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil on medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn't stick to the bottom.
Taste and adjust salt if needed.
Once done, remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped coriander.
Serve hot with steamed rice or chapati.
