Notes

Add water to blend the onion , garlic ,ginger and curry powder mix if needed. I did not add as the onions had enough water content.
You can make coriander and fresh green chilli paste and store in the refrigerator. Use when needed. Adds a nice flavor and texture to the dish.
I have used home made curry powder. You can use store bought Ones too.
The measurements given here is as per my family’s palate. It is mildly Spicy.
Increase or decrease the spice as per your tolerance .
