Note:-

• If milk is added in the curry…mix a pinch of cooking soda in the milk before pouring it in the curry..so that the milk wont break its structure.
• If you wan to make the curry with milk added ..avoid adding red chili powder ..add more green chilies to get the enough spice to the curry
• Watch the album to get clear idea.
