Critical Success Points

  • Whisk curd until completely smooth to avoid grainy texture.
  • Temper mustard, fenugreek and red chilies without burning.
  • Sauté shallots until golden for depth of flavor.
  • Add curd mixture on medium heat and never let it boil.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter – keep a safe distance while tempering spices.
  • Avoid using aluminium pans as they may react with acidic curd.
  • Do not let the curd mixture boil; high heat can cause curdling.
