Directions:
  • Beat the yogurd and keep aside.
  • In a pan, heat oil and splutter mustard seeds.
  • Add chillies, hing, curry leaves.
  • Add chopped tomatoes and cook till they are totally mashed up.
  • Add turmeric, red chili powder and salt. Cook till the oil starts to separate.
  • Add this paste to the beaten curd. Mix well. Adjust salt. Garnish with chopped cilantro.

Alternatively, if you want to cook the curds, you can add beaten curd to the tomato paste in the pan and cook for a couple of minutes. Both ways work just fine.
