Dry-toast the cumin seeds over low heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Cool, then grind to a powder. Grind the white mustard seeds separately so the finished drink does not contain whole hard seeds.
Blend or crush the green chile, mint and coriander leaves into a paste with a little of the measured 200 ml water. Strain this mixture.
Beat the yogurt with the remaining measured water until smooth. Mix in the strained herb mixture, cumin, mustard, both peppers, sugar and both measured salts.
Refrigerate until cold and serve chilled. Keep the drink refrigerated; do not leave it out for more than 2 hours.
