    Thanks guys... Good see ur comments. Hi chuckieb, thanks for your efforts to try the recipe.
    When i meant curd, it is plain yougurt (any % of fat will do, as the % of fat increases the richness of the recipe increases).
    Chat Masala - is a masala which has more of black salt, Jeera, cloves, dry mango powderetc..
    Channa Masal has lots more than that of chat masala or garam masala.It has more than 10 items fried and powdered. So it is better to buy it.
    Dhaniya is nothing bur coriander seeds.If you get it well and good. If you don't get thats fine. :-)

    Welcome to Group Recipes Nithyaca. Great picture and I love your recipe!
    Am a little confused over a couple of the ingredients though. When you say 'curd'...what kind of curd? I don't know the difference between Chat and Channa Masala. I do have Garam Masala in the cupboard. And...I have never heard of Dhaniya powder so I'm going to have to go look that up too. Luckily we have a great Indian Grocery store not far away so I am optimistic I'll be successful hunting the ingredients down.
    Have fun on Group Recipes. Welcome, and I look forward to more of your lovely recipes!
