  • 2 tbsp + ½ tsp mustard seeds
  • 4 red chillies

  • 1 cup curd
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • A few curry leaves
  • Salt to taste

Method

  1. Coarsely grind 2 tbsp mustard seeds, red chillies, and salt together. Add the coconut and mango; blend.
  2. Add the curd and blend to a smooth consistency.
  3. Heat a small pan over high heat; add the coconut oil. Once hot but not smoking, add the remaining mustard seeds. When they begin to splutter, add the curry leaves and cook just until blistered.
