NOTES.
- Add water according to the consistency you want. For serving with bread items let be thick or if with rice little thin .[not watery ] .The gravy actually has to be thick.
- For rich colour I grinded few Kashmiri chilli soaked in hot water together with onion paste.Kashmiri chilli are not hot,they add colour.
- If not using Kashmiri chilli ,add a pinch of colour.
- I used chicken drumstick.
- I love adding potato to my non – veg gravies ,so added I potato diced in big pieces ,so that it takes the same time for cooking.
- Add masalas as per your taste.
- You can also add whisked curd.
- You can also add ½ tsp of sugar ,I didn’t as I added little extra ketchup .
- Kasoori methi enhances the flavour more ,so pls add it.
- Y not add butter for more richness.
- No cashew pls.
- Same recipe goes for paneer malai methi – cooking time reduces.
