Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 4
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup finely chopped capsicum
- 1 cup yogurt (plain)
- ½ cup water
- Salt to taste
- Black salt, a pinch (optional)
- A pinch of chaat masala
Tempering
- 1 teaspoon oil
- ¼ teaspoon mustard seeds
- ¼ teaspoon urad dal
- 1 green chilli, finely chopped
- A pinch of asafoetida powder
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl add the chopped capasicum and sprinkle salt over it.
-
Heat oil in a skillet over medium high. Once the oil is hot, add mustard seeds and let it splutter. Then add the urad dal, green chillies & asafoetida powder. As it starts to get golden brown, turn off the stove and pour this over the capsicum.
-
Finally, before serving add the curd. Mix well. Check for salt and add some more. Sprinkle chaat masala and black salt on top.
Recipe Notes
- To make it more creamier and richer, you can use greek yogurt or hung curd in place of normal plain curd.
- Adjust the thickness as per your desired consistency. Usually it is on the thicker side.
- Black salt and chaat masala are completely optional. But they do give a nice flavour. Make sure you add just a little.
