Now its time for todays recipe 'Tambli'. This is a curry made from buttermilk. It goes great with rice.This one is another konkani recipe given to me by my mother in law. I like this recipe for its simplicity. One more interesting thing is you do not need to heat this curry. The recipe is quite straight forward. You just add masala paste to buttermilk. Prepare seasoning/tadka and add it to get this tasty, tangy curry! As it is made from buttermilk it has really nice cooling effect. I think my photo is not doing justice with this curry :). Though it does not look appealing from this pic, I assure this is quite flavorful curry :)

Ingredients:
3 cups Buttermilk
1/4 cup grated coconut
5-6 green chillies
2-3 garlic cloves
1 tbsp ghee
1/2 tsp hing/asaphoetida
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
Salt to taste

Method:

1. Grind together grated coconut, green chillies and garlic cloves to smooth paste adding little water.
2. Add this masala paste to buttermilk. Add salt. Mix well without heating the mixture.
3. In separate kadhai heat ghee. Add mustard seeds. When they splutter add hing.
4. Add this seasoning to buttermilk mixture.

Serve with rice.
