This is a creamy and rich gravy perfect as an accompaniment to Indian flat breads. I prepared this as part of Punjabi Thali to go with makai ki roti. I came across this recipe in a Tarla Dalal book. This is a mildly spiced gravy and so my daughter liked it. She even didn’t complain about the makai ki roti.
