Double check the spice level and adjust accoringly, as we are using Green chilli,red chilli and also red chilli powder.(Dont use kashmiri chilli powdre as it will spoil the green color of the curry.)
The recipe calls for 1 and 1/2 cup coriander leaves. If you dont like more corinader u can alter the recipe by adding less corinader and add cocunut paste or Coconut milk along with Garam masala.
Ghadaraj lemon- this lemon available only in bengal ,orissa areas,which has more lemony flavour and a bit of sweetish.You can replace this with normal lemon too.
