U can vary the consistency of this dish(either dry or lil gooey) as u wish. I personally prefer the dry version.

This dish tastes good with finger potatoes. Just cut some potatoes into fingers. add in salt & chilly pwd - mix. Shallow fry till done.

If u prefer a healthier version, u can have it with onion or cucumber raitha.
