  3. Hi, Wonderful recipe. So detailed. I am afraid this is too spicy. Correct me if I am wrong. I jump to this conclusion because of the quantity of chillies, chilly powder, pepper and cloves used. I wish to add this to my recipe note which has lots of your recipes. Please help.

    1. Hi Swarna,
      Thanks a lot for contacting me, this gravy quantity is more like I made it for 6-8 people, you can very well reduce the spice level according to your family needs. You can reduce the amount of red chilli powder to just 1 tsp and coriander powder to 2 tsp, also you can reduce the no of green chillies to 1 or 2. As it has coconut the spice level will be balanced. I hope this helps, sure do try it out and let me know. I am so happy you have saved lot of my recipes, a special thanks for that too.
