30 de Septiembre de 2012Try adding the following to the oil right in the beginning, for authentic south Indian taste:
- curry leaves 1 sprig
- asafoetida pinch
- urad daal 2tsp
- fenugreek 1tsp
Also, instead of adding cumin & coriander seeds whole, dry roast them, grind them in a mortar/pestle with garlic pods and then use.
