Expert Tips
- Even without smoked flavour this gravy tastes good but the restaurant taste will be missing.
- You can use baby potatoes as I have used or normal potatoes. Pressure cook for 3-4 whistles, cut into cubes and use it.
- If you don’t have tandoori masala powder you can use garam masala powder along with a sprinkle of kasoori methi.
