How to cook it
-
Break the papads into bite-size pieces by hand, no need to fry them, they'll soften in the gravy.
-
Whisk the curd with the besan, turmeric, chili powder, coriander powder, and a cup of water until smooth and lump-free.
-
Heat the ghee in a pan, add the mustard and cumin seeds, and let them crackle.
-
Pour in the curd mixture, stirring constantly over low heat so it doesn't curdle.
-
Add the remaining water and salt, and simmer 8 minutes until the gravy thickens slightly.
-
Drop in the papad pieces just before serving so they soften but keep a little bite, simmering 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Garnish with cilantro and serve hot with rotis or rice.
