- Instead of green chili's you can use red chili powder. Add it along with masala powders if using it.
- Every chili varies from one another in spiciness. I needed to add red chili powder to balance the spiciness in the dish along with green chili's.
- Allow gravy to cook on low heat to allow rajma absorb all the flavors.
- There is no time frame to bring this gravy thick. It depends on what heat level your cooking it.
