Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add onion paste and tomato puree in the curry?
Yes. If you prefer paste, then you can add onions as a paste and tomatoes as puree.
Can I make this curry creamy?
Yes. You can make this curry creamy by adding cashew paste or cream. However, that would make the spice flavours mild and the spices quantity will have to increased accordingly.
