Notes:
  • For the best flavour, it is recommended to use a clay pot for this recipe.
  • It is a spicy recipe. So add or reduce chilli powder according to your taste. You can substitute red chilli powder with Kashmiri chilli powder or paprika to bring down the heat.
  • Keep this curry closed for at least 30 minutes before serving, so the gravy absorbs all flavours.
