2. Alternatively in a mixing bowl take the curd and churn it using churner into buttermilk
3. Add Besan ,turmeric,sambar powder,crushed ginger,salt to the butter milk
4. Now add this mixture into boiled vegetables.
5. Take tadka pan ,add oil and add the bengal gram,black gram, curry leaves, crushed garlic, hing,jeera,mustard seeds , dry chillies and allow them to splutter.
6. Now add this tadka into buttermilk-vegetables mixture and simmer for few minutes.Do not bring to boil.
7. Adjust if anything is needed. Have it with hot rice. It tastes awesome !!!

Note :- Do not first add buttermilk to boiled vegetables and later add besan and remaining ingredients. The curd breaks if you do so. Mix them first and then add.







If you want this recipe to be thick add more besan . It comes out thick :-)
