Cooling curry with spices

When you look at it you will feel it will cool you as the main ingredient is buttermilk but once you taste it and feel the tadka you will know it is nothing like it and has some amazing flavours lent by spices and yet gives you the cooling feeling. A must have at the South Indian restaurants.
