Chachi you are the BEST! So nice of you to share these wonderful recipes. ♥☺Take care♥☺
Thank you Sabira, Chachi's Kitchen needs fans like you.
I was wondering about the yogurt content. Doesn't it make the preparation a bit more thicker than wanted, since curds tend to add to the density of the gravy?
Anubhav, yogurt is the whole basis of this dish. A little thick consistency is good.
Thank you so much for the recipe. My maternal side from the far end of Saurashtra more towards Kutch. My grandparents lived in Africa for the longest time.... I grew up
eating these recipes and missed it while I am away in Canada...
