When water starts to boil, gently add all rolls into it and allow them to cook for 3-4 minutes. After they are cooked, the rolls should float on top and bubbles will be seen on them. This means that they are cooked. Gently remove them from water and transfer to a plate.

In Step 2, once all spices become fry well, add finely chopped 1 medium sized onion and 1 tsp. crushed ginger. Sauté until it turns translucent. Now add 1 cup tomato puree and saute well. Then add beaten curd and follow the next steps. Use 1/2 cup curd because tomatoes have sourness.

  • You can add ajwain (Carom seeds) instead of cumin seeds.
  • Add water as required to adjust the consistency of gravy as it thickens once cooled..
  • For less spicy gravy, skip dry red chilli.
