Yogurt and Gram Flour Curry Recipe
Yogurt and gram flour curry with steamed white rice is one of the most flavorful, satisfying meals to have for lunch or dinner.
This creamy, tangy, spicy curry is typically made with gram flour fritters or pakoras, but I prefer it with vegetables. It's easy to make, with a handful of ingredients. As with so many of my recipes, you can tweak to your taste and add your choice of veggies.
If you have only ever had yogurt curry with gram flour fritters or pakoras, I think this is going to become your new, favorite version. And, the best part...No mixing batter and deep frying pakoras!
