Do not add water while grinding. • In a bowl, take curd, add grinded powder into it. Add some mint leaves, coriander leaves and lemon juice.

Oil should be separated by now. • Note - Do not dry out the gravy completely, as we will cook it with rice and we do not want the gravy to stick to the bottom of pan.
