        Yes I too was wary of sugar but a pinch of sugar in no way sweetened the curry only added to the umami. Final results yummy.

      Hi Aarthi. I tried this recipe and it tasted good. After keeping it for a few hours, I could see there was some watery thing - like a separation of water and curry. I have seen this in my other curries as well sometimes. There's some water that starts gathering when I keep it aside for a couple of hours. Am wondering why this happens and how to avoid it. Appreciate your advice. Thanks.
