Dude
Ur recipes are like "Amma chethi vanta"
means food from mothers hand
U make me home sick with ur recipes.
Wanna taste ur mom's recipe from my moms hand.
Hi Raji,
In this receipe u've mentioned only g.chillies for the spiceness.Incase if that spicy is not enough wat else we can add if we want more spicy and also the taste of gravy wont change.Can we add red chillie powder or any other option is there.
Sudha
You can add more green chillies if you need it more hot,can also replace with red chillies...not sure if the taste will remain the same for red chilly powder..the uniqueness of this one is the greenchilli's flavour too...so try adding more green chillies if you want it more spicy!
Thanks
