A very creamy and a lovely recipe that is my family's favourite and has been adapted from a very famous Chef Vikram. I had made just a slight change by adding a cup of freshly chopped Coriander Leaves too. It's a mildly hot and a creamy gravy that goes along well with any Indian Bread and even Pulaos or simple boiled Rice too. The colour itself is so tempting and appealing that it will definitely make you fall in love with it again and again. You can also give it a slight variation by choosing to add Curd instead of Coconut Milk.
Happy Cooking Everyone!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
