Recently my cousin and his family had come over to visit us. They had requested me to prepare some authentic Malvani food. I was overjoyed - after all my blog needed that too!!;-) So for this whole week, we are having a Malvani home food festival here at Enjoy Indian Food. To kick off this festival, I am blogging first - Malvani Thand kadhiInteresting read - Malvan
Malvani Thand Kadhi
Spiced buttermilk - Malvani style
Ingredients
1 cup plain yogurt
1 cup water
salt to taste
1/2 tsp chili powder
Tempering
2 tsp oil
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
3-4 garlic cloves, peeled & smashed with a pestle
2 sprigs curry leaves
2 red chilies, broken into halves
Method
1. Whisk yogurt, water, salt & chili powder. Set aside.
2. Heat oil for tempering. Add all the ingredients.
3. As the garlic cloves start to change the color to light brown, drizzle the tempered oil over the buttermilk mixture.
4. Cover immediately.
5. Serve cold or at room temperature.
Note -
1. Do not let the garlic burn.

I think if you like you can substitute green chilies. Color and taste will be little different but I think it will still taste good. :-)
