  13. Sorry but these proportions did not work for me. Felt that the fenugreek and toor dal proportions could be reduced. It was too thick and bitter. Anyway. Glad it worked out for everyone else!

    1. Hi, I'd be okay with the amount of Thuvar dal but I certainly agree with you on the Fenugreek. Good recipe yes, but at home, we only use say 1/2 tsp of Fenugreek seeds in the tempering for the aroma and not grind them with the paste.

  15. Hi, I tried to-day. It came well and nice in taste. I took 6-7 Green Chilly. Once the ground paste is made and water is added and heat for 5-6 minutes and taste it , then accordingly add the curd quantity. Final stage you can add the 2 more red chilly as per your taste.
