1. Dry roast the Urad dal, jeera, pepper, and a pinch of asafetida. Cool and powder them. Grind the powder with the coconut and a little water to make a very smooth paste. Heat ghee in a pan, add the mustard seeds. After they splutter, add the asafetida and curry leaves, add the paste and immediately add a cup of water to avoid burning the paste. Add the salt and milk.
