Notes
- The addition of onions is optional.
- You can add spices as per your requirements.
- Use fresh homemade curd for the best taste. The curd should not be sour.
- You can use mint leaves instead of coriander leaves or half-half of both.
- If making for Hindu fasting days then skip adding onions. Use edible rock salt (sendha namak) instead of regular salt. And use spice powders that are used on fasting days in your family.
- For a vegan version use cashew yogurt or almond yogurt.
- The recipe can be scaled as per your requirements.
