Instructions:
Prepare the Papads:

Break the papads into medium-sized pieces and set aside. You can either roast them on an open flame or microwave them until crisp.

Cook the Masala:

• Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and asafoetida. Let them splutter.
• Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.
• Add the ginger-garlic paste and green chillies. Sauté for another minute.
• Add the chopped tomato and cook until it becomes soft and the oil starts to separate.
• Add the turmeric powder, red chilli powder, and coriander powder. Mix well and cook for a minute.

Add Yogurt and Water:

• Lower the heat and add the whisked yogurt, stirring continuously to prevent it from curdling.
• Add water and bring the mixture to a boil.

Cook the Papads:

• Once the curry starts boiling, add the broken papad pieces. Stir well.
• Add salt to taste and let the curry simmer for 5-7 minutes until the papads are soft and have absorbed the flavours.

Finish and Garnish:

• Add garam masala and mix well.
• Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.

Serve:

Serve hot with steamed rice or chapati.
