  • This curry can be made in pan which takes long time to cook and needs more oil.
  • A tsp of tamarind paste can be added for extra tangy taste.
  • After adding the sesame seeds immediately turn off the stove otherwise it may pop up.
  • Curry leaves can be added while roasting the ingredients for the stuffing which gives a nice aroma.
  • Water can be adjusted according to the desired consistency.
