      As usual Yummy Tummy recipes suites well to my taste. In this I followed certain subtle changes in the given recipe based on my personal preference and it turns out to be awesome. Instead if big onions I used smaller ones and while marinating along with turmeric and salt, added pepper as well. I used coconut milk instead of raw coconut. Other things remain same. Thanks Aarthi for this wonderful recipe!! 😊

      Hey i think in your ingredients it should be 3 teaspoons of coriander seeds and not tablespoon. This curry now only tastes of coriander and nothing else 😢
