4) Heat 1 tsp oil in a skillet, add mustard seeds and wait for it to splutter. Add cumin seeds, curry leaves and red chilli. Mix with tambli.

Tip: As I wanted it to be a bit more spicy, I added half a tsp of red chilli powder. If pepper powder is available, that would be better as well.
Substitute buttermilk instead of yogurt if available.
