Oh, yum!!! I have a question, if you don't mind. The recipe ingredient list reads nearly identical to the start of my "butter chicken" (Murgh Makani) or even curry chicken (or Briryani!) recipe, except that I add fresh serrano chili to the mix with the tomato, onion, garlic, ginger, and spices. Of course, this doesn't add heavy cream, curd, etc! But, you stated that this gravy is more soup consistency (sounds amazing - I can just smell it!!!); could you please estimate for me how much lukewarm water you add? Would you estimate as much as liter? Thank you for your help!!! I cannot wait to try it; I have everything in the house to do so, so it may be on tomorrow's menu!! :)
Thank you so much for sharing! I adore Indian food, had lovely neighbors from Bombay (before the name changed), Sanjeev and Anshu, and Anshu brought me into her kitchen on many occasions to show me, firsthand to make some favorites (including palak paneer and shahi aloo gobi!!). Thank you, again!!! ~Chrissie
