    In Step 5, before adding the yogurt to the hot liquid, it may be helpful to first mix 1/2 cup of the liquid with the 1/2 cup of yogurt in a separate bowl until smooth.

      Made this last night and was really, really good. A couple of suggestions to other chefs - if you don't want this as hot, de-seed the chili before chopping. Also, do mix the yogurt well (and with a 1/2 cup of the broth) before adding. Otherwise it clumps. Awesome and will definitely make again.

          Thanks for sharing, Haresh. We'll see if I'm the first non-Indian to try this! Looks very tasty, and not something I've had in a restaurant before. Can't wait to try it.
