Kitchen masti Points.

1. You can serve the gravy with julienned ginger. Crush the dry fenugreek leaves with your fingers before adding to the gravy. It helps to enhance the aroma of the gravy.
2. Instead of grinding the ginger and garlic, you can replace it with the Ginger garlic paste too.
3. See to it that the capsicum does not loose its crunchiness while frying.
4. You can lessen the amount of red chillies and increase the quantity of red chilli powder.
