Ingredients
1
cup
plain yogurt (dahi, curd)
slightly sour (tangy) homemade yogurt is preferred.
½
cup
water
2
tablespoons
vegetable oil
½
teaspoon
cumin seeds
¼
teaspoon
asafetida (hing)
skip for gluten-free
½
teaspoon
brown mustard seeds
2-3
dry red chilies
10-12
whole curry leaves
1
teaspoon
Bengal gram (chana dal)
1
teaspoon
split and skinned black lentils (white urad dal)
¼
cup

teaspoon
chopped green chilies
½
teaspoon
turmeric powder
½
teaspoon
salt
or to taste
Instructions
Add yogurt to a medium mixing bowl and whisk using a wire whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add water and mix well.
The consistency of perugu charu is like that of kadhi. If it's thick, add some more water to thin it down.
Heat vegetable oil in a small pan over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add cumin seeds, asafetida, mustard seeds, dry red chilies, and curry leaves, and let them crackle for 4-5 seconds.
Add chana dal and urad dal and fry until they turn slightly brown, stirring continuously.
Add onions and green chilies and fry until onions turn light brown in color. Stir frequently.
Add turmeric powder and cook for 4-5 seconds.
Pour the tempering over the whisked yogurt.
Add salt to the bowl and mix well.
Check for salt and add more if needed.
Cover the bowl and keep it on the counter for an hour for the flavors to come together.
Serve at room temperature or chilled.
