Hi Aarthi,
Could I use just plain red chilli's for the whole thing since I don't have kashmiri chilli's?

Aarati, this was very good. Just finished making. I wish I had used enough chillies. I have used 5-6 of which 4 were byaadgi, but I should have stepped up the guntur chillies. Will do so next time. Only one question: handful of curry leaves ? Can you roughly estimate how many you used?
Aarthi
around 2 sprigs

Thanks Aarati!
