1. Prepare the cumin seeds and peppercorns. Then heat the oil in a large nonstick wok or saucepan over medium-high heat and cook the leeks and green chili peppers, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and garlic, and cook, stirring, until golden, about 7 minutes. (The mushrooms will first release their juices and then dry out.) Let cool, transfer to a food processor or a blender, and process until smooth.
2. Place the yogurt in a large serving bowl and mix in the milk, mushrooms, lemon juice, the prepared cumin and black pepper, and the salt. Store, covered, in the refrigerator at least 2 hours or until ready to serve. Garnish with scallion greens and serve.
