Notes

  1. We can make little thicker in consistency when serving with Roti and lighter consistency when served with Idli/Dosa
  2. Poppy Seeds are optional we can replace with cashew. Both Cashew and poppy seeds makes the gravy richer and thicker
  3. We can add few mint leaves and coriander leaves to make more flavorful gravy
