I also made a simple tawa chicken to go with this recipe, will share it soon. The main flavouring of this is yogurt and the masala which we grind. I used kashmiri chilli so it gave a wonderful colour and it was less spicy.
Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..

can we make this with mutton?
Nishant Khade
You will have to make a few changes:
1. Marinate for at least 1-2 hours or overnight if possible.
2. Cook the mutton until it is 85% cooked before adding the chilli-garlic mixture.

I've tried it. I like the flavor. Though it is spicy. I added a little cream and use coconut water instead of plain water. Taste great. THanks.

Hello Krishna, we love Indian food and go often to The Bombay Spice Rest in Hengelo Ov The Netherlands. We like to trie to make it selves. Sometimes it will be very good. Today we tried this recipe and I think we did something wrong. The taste was not so smooth and rich we like. The color was more Brown than Red. We made it whit chicken. You have a nice smooth and thick Garlic and Chile mix. We had it nearly wiht-blanc with some red. We will do it again on a other time.
Paul
Try adding some pureed tomatoes to get a more red colour. Add it to the onions once they have turned golden and cook on high for several minutes stirring constantly. Than continue with the recipe ...
Lavanya Naveen

What makes the curry that dark red color?? every time I make it its more of a light brown
Aarthi
Use kashmiri chilli powder.
Poonam
Can this be served with roti?
Anthony Ivers-Read
So the red chili powder is Kashmiri Chili powder along with the dried Kashmiri chilis?
Natasha
Hi. When it says, yogurt. Is this just plain, regular unflavored yogurt?
Anonymous
Made this for the first time, but used just fresh red chilli because I never had dry Kashmiri chilli and it turned out absolutely delicious! Thank you 😊
orla
how much water do you need to add?
Gris
Hi Aarthi,
Thanks for sharing this recipe. I’ll try it this weekend. I use Kashmiri chillies, however, I still don’t get the deep red colour. Is it ok to use smoked paprika to get the red colour? Will it alter the taste of teh curry? Thank you.
