Final Outcome: Restaurant like taste, Fantastic!!!

        I can rate this as one of my most loved recipes. Most home chefs will agree that getting the restaurant like taste is a huge achievement. This recipe is from a cook book with some changes. Don't let the list of ingredients scare you. It is quiet simple actually.

Masala:
Coriander seeds: 1/2 tbsp
Cumin seeds: 1 tsp
Red chili: 1
Ginger: 1/2 inch piece

Additional masala:

Tumeric powder: a pinch

Method:
1. Grind all the ingredients listed under 'Masala' to a paste (coriander seeds, cumin seeds, Red chili and ginger).
