      nice one sharmee,

      although the one we make is pretty thick and almost like a thick sour cream consistency. We dont use garlic too….yours almost reminds me of a nice chutney.

      @Shoba : Yes we can make it thick too as per our preference, we like it this way as its easy to mix with rice.
