A recipe from Tarla Dalal. I have tweaked the original recipe to suite my taste and cooking style Dried fenugreek leaves ( kasuri methi),Chaat masala and tandoori masala are available from Indian grocery stores. You could substitute the tandoori masala with Garam masala. You could omit the chaat masala. Although the kasuri methi does add a distinct flavor, it can be omitted. The Ingredients:
