Tempering

Heat coconut oil in a tempering dish. Splutter mustard seeds, add asafoetida (hing), green chili peppers and finely chopped curry leaves. Allow to temper for a few seconds.
Add the above tempering, roughly chopped ginger root, cilantro sprigs and salt to a high speed blender.
Add yogurt/curd. Add water, ice cubes (if using) and lime juice (if the yogurt is not sour enough). If using full fat yogurt, use more water. If using buttermilk, add less water.
Blend at high speed until everything is blended and the buttermilk is frothy.
Taste and adjust the water, salt, spice and sourness levels. Give it one more churn in the blender.
Mix and refrigerate or serve right away.
