சௌ உஷா கோபாலகிருஷ்ணன் (புதுதில்லி) ஆலோசனையின்படி கொஞ்சம் உளுத்தம்பருப்பு, கிராம்பு ஆகியவற்றையும் எண்ணெயில் வறுத்துக் கொண்டேன். நன்றி -- உஷா.

Again on 09 Sept 2018 Sunday --- I did it 80%, Vijaya 20% . Came out extremely good, correct amount of salt, and Mirchi powder. Real tasty.

I used butter only, no oil. I used tomato puree and not tomato cut-pieces. I used freshly made Ginger garlic paste. Green mirchi was also ground into paste. Rajma was from BIG BASKET.
