Grind the Curry Leaves:
In a mixer jar, combine the curry leaves, green chili, salt, and black pepper powder. Grind them together to form a coarse paste, ensuring that the curry leaves release their rich flavors into the mixture. -

Add the curd and water to the coarse paste in the mixer. Blend the mixture again until everything is thoroughly combined and smooth. The water will thin the curd, turning it into a refreshing, drinkable consistency. -
