Ingredients

  • 1 (1 1/2 inch) piece fresh ginger root, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons ground turmeric
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1/2 cup ground coriander
  • 1/2 cup corn oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
  • 1 (32 ounce) container plain yogurt
  • 2 1/2 cups chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green chiles

Directions

  1. Place the ginger, garlic, turmeric, chili powder, and coriander in a blender; blend into a smooth paste.
