  • Add the coconut milk and lemon juice. Stir and heat for one minute.
    Yogurt with Curry Shrimp
  • To temper the yogurt, start by placing it in a bowl. Next, take a spoonful of the hot liquid from the pan and add it to the yogurt. Stir the mixture well, ensuring that the yogurt is completely incorporated. Repeat this process, adding another spoonful of hot liquid, and stir again until the yogurt is warmed and has an even consistency. This gradual process of adding hot liquid to the yogurt will help prevent the yogurt from separating when it is added to the hot liquid in the pan.
