Hello Kalpana ji,
ReplyDeleteI tried this recipe. It turned out to be very sour may be because of the tomatoes I used. Otherwise it was very good. Easy to make as well. Is there any thing similar for vegetarians?
I am enjoying your blog. Keep it up!

ReplyDeleteThanks for your motivation.
The taste of tomatoes differ from place to place or May be those tomatoes was overdone hence the sourness might have increased.
For vegetarians Paneer or cheese may be used .
By the way thanks for the great idea I will definitely try it with paneer or cheese too and publish it in my blog.
