Ingredients
  1. 1 tbsp Kashmiri Chilli Powder. Easily available through your local stores. Can be freshly made at home by grinding some dry red chillies.
  2. 1/2 cup Lemon Juice.
  3. 200 gms of Yogurt or Curd.

  6. 1/2 cup Mustard Oil. Alternatively, you could use any standard Salad oil like Olive or sunflower.
  7. 1 tbsp Garam Masala (Secret Ingredient).

  2. Remove whey of Yogurt by hanging it in a muslin cloth for 1/2 an hour.
