  8. Add the chopped onions and sauté them for a couple of minutes.
  9. Add ginger, garlic, green chillies, dry red chillies and the curry leaves and fry for minute.
  10. Add the yogurt mixture and cook it for 14 minutes in medium flame taking care not to burn the bottom.
  11. After this lower the flame and cook until the khadi becomes thick. If it is too thick, add little water to thin it.
  12. Turn off the flame and add the onion fritters and let them soak for 10 minutes and then serve it.
