I relished the dish with some chapatis. The taste was something new, and to my liking. Even my roommate who generally makes wierd faces, no matter how good the food is, liked it. All in all, it's a great recipe.

These cup measurements are killing me. My style of cooking is often 'andaaz' measurements. I don't why I wrote 1 cup, I do think, it's little bit too much. Thanks for pointing it out, I'm going to change the measurement to half cup. thanks, Priya.</i> i made this yesterday, and it was really good, totally different.I dint add jaggery.i kinda liked the slightly bitter taste of the sesame.i felt 1 cup of sesame was little too much for the sauce.but in ur pic it looks perfect.thanx for the recipe.

I follow a method - See if I can explain it clearly. First I heat the peanut oil, do the <i>popu</i>, then add the onions. Now I increase the heat and concentrate on sauteeing the onions. I fry them,continuously stirring until they turn color, happens in few minutes, oil or no oil, just by heat. Then I will add the tomatoes or other things etc.,. Concentrate on the curry, first few minutes,then add the veggies, reduce the heat to medium or medium-low, leave them alone. It works for me. Trail and error, develop a method, and you don't have to worry about these things ever. Hope this helps.:) Hi Krithika, no problem.

Hi Indira
