Very nice easy recipes…..vl surely try it ds way…..
Ty..
Sure Minal, Do let me know how it turns out
Where are tomatoes mentioned in the ingredients?
How many?
Do we need to roast the coriander and chillies??
I never mentioned the tomatoes since the original recipe doesn’t require tomatoes and its optional. And do not roast the chillies or coriander seeds add them directly to grind. You may soak the red chillies in water to soften them before you grind them.
I really like ur recipe it’s very easy n lovely in taste
Thank you so much Hemangi
