Notes

  1. I have fresh red chili here. You can use green chili instead and increase or decrease the quantity as per your spice tolerance.
  2. In case you do not have butter milk mix half cup of sour yogurt and half cup water and whisk well.
  3. I add dry mango powder if the buttermilk is not so tangy.
  4. You can use fresh coriander leaves too.
  5. I don't add garlic . It is completely optional and you can add if you like.
  6. I use curd chili sometimes for tempering, 
  7. Don't boil after adding buttermilk and coconut milk.
  8. In case you don't have coconut milk you can also add fresh coconut ground to a fine paste.
