Notes
1. The amount of ground black pepper is one’s personal choice; if you prefer more/less hotness in your dish, adjust accordingly.
2. Use ghee (clarified butter) and white oil 1:1 ratio to cut down calorie.
3. Always use hot water while making curries unless specified differently. Adding cold/regular water to curry creates sudden temperature drop in the curry which results uneven cooking of veggies and spices.
