In a small pan, warm the ghee over medium heat.

Throw in the broken chile pepper and let it sizzle for 30 seconds, allowing its aroma to fill the air.

Turn off the heat and mix in the turmeric, curry leaves, and asafoetida powder.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, yogurt, and spice ghee.
