Notes

  1. If we want to store for long store it in fridge it will keep well outside for a week.
  2. You can keep the milagai and ginger finally chopped and don’t mince it will also be nice.
  3. As chillies itself is spicy we need not add more chilli powder.
  4. For balance and taste we add jaggery but its optional.
  5. I have used mustard oil but you can use gingelly oil.
