Notes
-
- Over Night Soaking results the best, or soak the Urad dhal and Rajma in hot water for 6 hours.
- Adjust the spice level in masala to your taste buds..
- Adding heavy cream or fresh cream is must for the real restaurant taste.. adding ghee and heavy cream in the final stage is the real taste of this recipe..
- This is a slow cook recipe, Real taste hide in frying tomato and onion, it taste too good how long it takes to cook, minimum it need 30-40 mins to cook the onion and tomato in low flame..
