Hi Rosy!!!!
Did you marinate Potatoes for at least 1 hour? I think the kind of potatoes you used may needs more marination time. Try it next time and increase the marination time from 1 hour to 2 hour.
And about the color, it really depends on the chili powder you used. Some chili powder gives dark red color and some light red. I would not worry much about the color.
Thanks.
My gravy turns out too sour coz of the curd…where am u going wrong ?
Hi
I think your curd is very sour. I mentioned in the recipe that if curd is sour, use 1 cup curd and 1 cup water.
Yumm..i.will try this.
Thanks Sapna!!! Let me know how it goes. 🙂
