This is a easy to cook and good to eat dish. Perfect serve for a small get together.
one thing that should be kept in mind that you should be knowing the exact English words for something known as “jeera”………
and million other things which you should try to figure out yourself !!!!!
the sensible thing is to use common hindi words in an indian recipe buddy

sorry for that horrifying error! thank you ma’am for reminding me!!
i am sorry if anyone of has cooked it and suffered. many apologies….
hey tell me can v use besan instead of flour n v can add onion 2 in d gravy??
Yeah! you may use besan. And as for onion is concerned in gravy- sure, you may also add garlic if you eat garlic. I don’t like onion and garlic and thus I didn’t mention it, here!
