Method:


Take a deep pan and pour yoghurt. Add gram flour and mix well with a whisk. Add salt and green chilli paste. Whisk well adding 2 cups of water. Cook on low heat,  stirring continuously for five minutes. Continue to boil for another five to eight minutes.

Heat oil in a small pan for seasoning. Add asafoetida, cumin seeds, red chilli, mustard, fenugreek seeds and curry leaves. Sauté till cumin seeds start changing colour. Add the seasoning to the yoghurt mixture.



Add the pakodas just before serving, in order to retain the crispiness. Serve this warm rice.
