Kitchen masti points.

1. Retain the crunchiness of the capsicum while frying, so, do not over fry it.
2. Dilute the gravy as per your wish. Therefore, add milk accordingly.
3. You can add a tbsp of grated coconut while grinding the gravy but it is optional.
4. You can replace the ginger garlic paste with garlic cloves and fresh ginger for a fresh taste.
5. You can add coloured capsicum for an attractive look.
