Preparation Steps

Prepare the Yogurt Base

In a large bowl, whisk the plain yogurt until smooth. Gradually add water while continuously whisking until well combined.

Add Spices

Finely chop the green chilies and ginger. Add them to the yogurt mixture along with salt and curry leaves. Mix well.

Tempering

In a small pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and allow them to splutter. Pour this tempering over the yogurt mixture and stir.

Chill and Serve

Refrigerate the sambaram for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors. Serve chilled.
