Beat the yogurt until smooth and creamy.

Add gram flour to the yogurt and mix until well combined.

Gradually add water to the mixture to achieve a medium thick consistency.

Prepare the tempering by heating oil in a pot.

Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds to the oil and allow them to crackle.

Stir in asafoetida, ginger paste, and green chilies; sauté briefly.

Add salt and sugar to taste, and stir the mixture well.

If the mixture thickens, add more water as needed to maintain consistency.

Allow the mixture to boil for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Add chopped fresh coriander and mix well before serving.
