Invite yourself to taste this tangy, spicy and cooling dip. The tangy effect from the lime juice, while the garlic and green chilli spice it-up! And of course the hung curd adds to the cooling effect of the dip. The rich and smooth texture of hung curd is makes this dip feel very soft on the palate. Before you remove the hung curd from the muslin cloth ensure that the water is well drained off, only then the texture gets thick.
