Notes
1. Use fresh curd that is not sour in taste.
2. I have used the hand whisker but you can also make it in a blender if you want.
3. You can also add some besan boondi for making it more attractive.
4. If you do not have dried mint leaves in hand use fresh leaves, grind them in little water then add curd and follow other steps.
5. You can adjust the salt quantity according to your taste or omit it completely if you have any health issues like high blood pressure.
6. If preparing for little kids do not add red chilli powder in it.
7. You can prepare it beforehand and keep it refrigerated till required. But don't add salt to it. Salt should be added just before serving otherwise it makes the sour taste.
