   Variation and tips :

• 2). You can add ajwain into it.You can use kalaunji too if you want sweet sour taste.
• 3). You can add saunf powder instead of saunf too if you like but then you have to add it with other masalas.I have skipped saunf in my recipe today.

• 4). You can skip garlic.
• 5). You can add ginger instead of garlic.
• 6). You can change the                                                           quantity of red chilli and                                                       green chilli according to your
                                                taste.

• 7). You can skip sugar or add according to your taste.
• 8). You can add amchur or lemon juice instead of kachchi keri.
