  • The dish is not spicy at all.So im not gonna add any red chili powder and green chilies.The dish will get mild spiciness from white pepper powder and whole dry red chilies..


  • A gentle stir and cook for a while.Now add makhana and just give a nice stir. Makhana is also know as fox nut,lotus seeds and gorgon nut...
