Yoghurt Curry Recipe

Serves: 4 | Suitable for vegetarians 

Introduction

This is a fresh and light dish which is very quick and easy to make. The yoghurt gives this sauce a texture and tangy flavour, very different from a lot of other curries. It is often served as it is, with rice and a simple vegetable dish or try adding Courgette Koftas or bhajias to the sauce.

Ingredients

Serves 4 

450g set yoghurt
300ml water
1 tbsp Gram Flour
1/4 tsp Turmeric
Salt to taste 
2 tbsp oil
1 Dried Chilli
1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
1/2 tsp Mustard Seeds
1/2 tsp Fenugreek Seeds
1/4 tsp Asafoetida
5-6 fresh curry leaves
2 cloves of garlic (crushed)
1 inch ginger (cut into matchsticks)

Instructions 

  1. Add the yoghurt, water, gram flour, turmeric and salt to a saucepan and whisk together until fully combined and there are no lumps of gram flour.
  2. Bring the yoghurt mix to the boil, turn the heat down and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring it from time to time.
  3. Heat the oil in a small frying pan and then fry the dry chilli, mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds asafoetida and curry leaves for 2-3 minutes, until the mustard seeds begin to crackle and the chilli starts to turn black.
  4. Add in the garlic and ginger and fry for a further 1-2 minutes, until the garlic starts to brown around the edges.
  5. Pour the spices into the yoghurt mix and cover with a lid. Turn off the heat and leave to sit for 2 minutes. Before serving stir the spices fully into the yoghurt mix.
