Ingredients

• 300 grams Low-fat plain yogurt
• 100 milliliters Water
• 1 medium (finely chopped) Onion
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 teaspoon (minced) Ginger
• 1 medium (finely chopped) Tomato
• 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoons (or to taste) Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Mustard seeds
• 6 leaves Curry leaves
• 1 tablespoon Low-calorie cooking oil
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Cilantro (fresh coriander)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, whisk the low-fat plain yogurt with 100 milliliters of water until smooth. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat the low-calorie cooking oil in a non-stick pan on medium heat.

Step 3

Add mustard seeds to the hot oil. When they start to splutter, add the curry leaves and let them sizzle for a few seconds.

Step 4

Add the finely chopped onion to the pan and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and ginger. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the chopped tomato and cook until it softens and blends with the onion mixture, about 3 minutes.

Step 7

Sprinkle turmeric powder, ground cumin, coriander powder, and red chili powder over the mixture. Stir well and sauté for 1 minute to toast the spices.

Step 8

Lower the heat to prevent curdling, then stir in the whisked yogurt mixture gradually, mixing continuously.

Step 9

Add salt to taste and let the curry simmer gently on low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 10

Turn off the heat and garnish the curry with fresh cilantro.

Step 11

Serve hot with steamed rice or whole-grain flatbread for a nutritious and low-fat meal.
