Method

1. 1

   Grind fresh coconut, roasted peeled peanuts, ginger, and green chilies into a smooth paste. Do not leave it coarse — it should be completely smooth.

2. 2

   In a mixing bowl, add ½ cup fresh curd. Add the ground paste and mix well.

3. 3

   Add 2 cups water. Mix again until smooth and combined.

   

4. 4

   Heat 1 tsp ghee in a pan. Add red chili powder and curry leaves. Sauté briefly.

5. 5

   Pour the curd-peanut mixture into the pan. Keep flame low.

   

6. 6

   Cook on low flame for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the curry comes to a gentle boil and thickens slightly. The curry will thicken more as it cools.

7. 7

   Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and roasted cumin powder.

   

8. 8

   Serve with Rajgira paratha, varai, or sabudana khichdi.

9. 9
