Method

Take one cup of curd about 250 ml in a wide bowl. Beat the curd well to make sure there are no lumps.

Add 1 tbsp of red chilli powder, 2 tbsp of coriander powder, ½ tsp of garam masalapowder, ¼ tsp of cumin powder and required salt to the curd/yogurt.

Beat the yogurt/curd really well with hand whisker until all the masala is thoroughly combined. Keep it aside.

Heat about 3 tsp of oil in a sauce pan or kadai. Splutter mustard seeds, then add cumin seeds/jeeragam, urad dal and wait until it changes to light golden color.

Add curry leaves and fry for 10-12 seconds.

At this stage add crushed garlic and saute well for about a minute or two on low medium flame.

Now add the finely chopped onions and saute well until they change to golden brown color or for about 5-6 minutes.

Add the whisked curd to the sautéed onions, mix really well.

Let it come to rolling boil. Cover and cook for about 8-10 minutes.

Open the lid, the oil will separate out and will achieve thick gravy consistency.

Finally add finely chopped coriander leaves, mix well and switch off the stove.

Delicious, tempting and flavourful Curd Chutney is ready to be enjoyed. Serve hot with idlis, dosas, chapatis or idiyappam.
