P.S. You can balance the hotness of the dish according to your choice.In case your are preparing this dish for stuffing inside Paratha or Mughlai Paratha minus the whole spices,potato,tomato,green peas and cook in a very little oil.If your stuffing is too oily it will not remain inside the paratha.When the cooking is done sprinkle liitle bit besan/chickpea flour for the binding.Thats the Trick..........You can use the same recipe as a stuffing in making Capsicum/Bellpepper Bharwa...
