Ingredients

• Yogurt - 200 grams
• Besan (chickpea flour) - 2 tablespoons
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Red chili powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cumin seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
• Mustard seeds - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, whisk the yogurt until smooth. Add besan, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well until there are no lumps.
2. In a pot, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and curry leaves. Sauté until the seeds start to crackle.
3. Pour the yogurt mixture into the pot and stir continuously to prevent curdling. Gradually add water while stirring to achieve a smooth consistency.

5. Once cooked, remove from heat and add lemon juice and chopped coriander leaves. Mix well.
