Trivia Tadka
Though served mainly with badshahi khichdi, Tempered Curd is a flavourful side-dish that is often served with the main course, especially during wedding ceremonies and festivals. It has a uniquely Gujarati flavour to it, though variants of Tempered Curd are savoured across south India too.
Ingredients
- Curd (dahi) (1½ cups)
- Salt (to taste )
- Yellow mustard seeds (sarson) (1 tsp)
- Curry leaves (kadipatta) (4 to 5)
- Oil (for tempering)
Method
- In a bowl, combine the curd and salt and whisk well. Keep aside.
- Heat oil in a pan and add in 1 tsp of sarson. When it has begun to crackle, toss in the kadipatta and keep sautéing on a medium flame for 15 seconds. Turn off the flame.
- Pour the whisked curd into it and mix well.
- Serve with badshahi khichdi.
