Cooked with the same ingredients but curry color did not turn as red brown as shown in the picture. Can some one guide how to get same color
Hi there ! Thanks for trying it at home. The color of curry may vary if onions are not turned golden brown . To get good color in the curry you may use deggi mirch powder instead of regular chilly powder and when the curry is done , just cook it on slow flame with open lid for 7-8 minutes .
