Perugu pacchadi/ curd chutney/ raita is my favorite combo for bagara/biryani, I can even have it with white rice/paratha or simply eat it directly. It tastes that good. It is very simple to make and delicious to taste.

Yogurt/curd-2cups
Green chilis chopped-2ts
onions chopped-1/2cup
Carrot chopped-1/4cup(optional)
Cumin seeds-few
Hing/ asafortida-pinch
Mustard seeds-few
red chili-1
curry leaf-1 rib (optional)
Cilantro/coriander for garnishing
Salt to taste
oil-2ts
Method:
