Ingredients 

• 3 tbsp oil, any neutral oil
• 1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds
• 10-12 curry leaves 
• 1 tsp garlic paste
• 2-3 green chillies
• 1 red onion, large, sliced
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder

• 4 tbsp chickpeas flour (besan) whisked with 1 cup water
• 1 cup yogurt, thinned with 1 cup water*
• 2 cup water
• Salt to taste
• handful of coriander leaves

Method

1. Heat oil in a deep, heavy bottom saucepan and add fenugreek seeds and curry leaves to it. As it starts to sizzle add the onions. Once the onions are translucent add the garlic paste and green chilies.
2. Add the turmeric, red chilly, coriander and cumin powder. Once the spices cook out a bit, add the flour mix and yogurt mix. Whisk well.
3. Let the mixture come to a boil and add the water. Let this cook for 15-20 minutes and then cook until your desired thickness is achieved. Add more or less water accordingly. It will also thicken as it sits.
4. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
