Hi…the dish tastes good. However, I didn’t use fenugreek and the tamarind. While I had these 2 ingredients ready for use, the instructions omitted these ingredients and in my rush, I didnt realize that they didnt get used. Please add them in the instructions. I will try this dish again to see how different it tastes with these 2 ingredients.
oh..let me update it then. thanks for notifying!
Wonderful super
thank you 🙂
