Ingredients

  • Tomato (medium size) – 2

  • Curd – 1 cup

  • Turmeric Powder – a pinch

  • Sugar – 1/4 teaspoon

  • Salt – 1/2 teaspoon or as per taste

  • To grind:
  • Coconut gratings – 1 tablespoon

  • Red Chilli – 1

  • Mustard – 1/4 teaspoon

  • Cumin (Jeera) – 1/4 teaspoon

  • For seasoning:
  • Oil – 1 teaspoon

  • Mustard – 1/4 teaspoon

  • Asafoetida Powder – a pinch

  • Red Chilli – 1

  • Curry Leaves – few

Directions

  • Using a blender, combine coconut, red chilli, mustard, and cumin with a small amount of water. Blend until it forms a smooth paste. Set aside.
  • In a cooking vessel, place the chopped tomatoes. Add turmeric powder, a pinch of salt, and a small amount of water. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the tomatoes soften.
  • Stir in the coconut paste and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiled, remove from heat and allow it to cool.
  • In a separate bowl, add sugar and salt to the curd and whisk until well-combined. Incorporate the cooled tomato mixture into the beaten curd, mixing thoroughly.
  • Heat oil in a small kadai. Once hot, add mustard seeds and wait for them to pop. Follow this with a dash of asafoetida powder, red chillies, and curry leaves. Sauté briefly to release the flavors.
  • Drizzle this aromatic seasoning over the curd mixture. Cover with a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
