Adding curd will add perfect flavour.
I tried this recepie it was very spicy!! Chilly powder can be reduced to half tbsp. Taste was superb!! Served with onion raitha!!
perhaps it could be because of your red chillies. it might be spicy. i have used kashmiri red chillies which is mild. perhaps reduce the red chillies accordingly
