Ingredients:
3 cups of buttermilk
1/4 tsp grated ginger
salt as per taste
1 tbsp besan or gram powder

For seasoning:
1/4 tsp ghee or oil
8-10 curry leaves
1/4 tsp mustard seeds
a pinch of asafoetida
3-4 red or green chillies
1/8 tsp turmeric

Servings:
3 people

Add grated ginger and salt to buttermilk. Slowly add besan powder to buttermilk, stirring well to avoid any lumps. Keep it aside.

In a kadhai, heat oil or ghee. To this, add mustard seeds, asafoetida, curry leaves and chillies. Fry chillies for few seconds and add turmeric. Add about 1/2 cup of water to this and slowly pour the besan and buttermilk mix to the kadhai. Stir continuously to mix well. Take care not to boil the buttermilk as it will split. After about 1-2 minutes, the curry thickens a bit. Do not boil the curry.
