1
Mix the sugar, salt, cumin and chilli or cayenne into the yoghurt and adjust seasoning to taste.
2
Grate carrots and chill. Just before serving mix the yoghurt and the grated carrots together.
3
Heat the oil in a small vessel. When it is hot add the mustard seeds. As soon as they sizzle add the oil and the mustard to the curd and carrots.
4
Serve garnished with coriander and mint. Note you can sprinkle the cayenne pepper on top instead of using it in the curd and omit the garnish with the green leaves.
