CHEF’S TIPS
1) Fry the gravy in a sim flame, because of the cashew nuts in the paste. If high flame is used, the masala will get scorched.
2) Always use boiled and cooled milk to mix in with the corn flour.
3) Double frying the gravies in summer keeps them fresh for longer time.
4) If the gravy becomes thick add boiled and cooled milk to get the right consistency.
