Method

- Add 2 cup curd, 2 tbsp cream and ¾ tsp salt.
- Mix well making sure everything is well combined.
- You can see the consistency is thick, so add ¾ cup milk and mix adjusting the consistency as required.
- Now add 2 chilli, 1 inch ginger, 2 tbsp coriander and mix well.
- Further, in a tadka pan heat 2 tbsp oil.
