Note :
  • If u dont have chilli sauce, u can add the normal tomato sauce along with red chilli powder.
  • Dissolve only 1 tsp of corn flour in water.(Dont add much water too).
  • I forgot to add GG paste before adding onion.Thats why I added it in the later stage.
  • I avoided adding green chilli,if u want it more spicy then add it.
