  4. Put it on medium heat to boil with stirring continuously. Don’t forget to stir otherwise yogurt will curdle and kadhi will overflow while cooking. When it comes to a boil lower the heat to simmer and prepare the tempering.

  5. Heat the ghee or oil in a small pan. Once hot add mustard seeds and cumin seeds.

  6. Then add dry red chilli, cinnamon stick, fenugreek seeds,cloves. After a few seconds, you will get a nice fragrance from whole spices. Add curry leaves and asafoetida.
