2
Roast or grill the rehydrated sangar pods directly over an open flame or in a dry pan until they develop a light char and smoky aroma, turning occasionally.
8 minutes
3
Heat mustard oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until it reaches its smoking point, then reduce the flame to allow the oil to mellow.
3 minutes
4
Add jeera to the hot oil and let it splutter and crackle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
1 minutes
5
Add the roasted sangar pods to the pan and toss well to coat them evenly with the tempered oil and spices.

6
Lower the heat and add the curd, stirring continuously to prevent curdling, and mix it thoroughly with the sangar.

Cook the mixture on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the curd is fully absorbed and the oil begins to separate at the edges.

Remove from heat and serve hot as a side dish, traditionally accompanied with bajra roti or dal baati.
