Notes
You can roast the gram flour till aromatic in a separate pan and then add this while adding all the spice powders.
Use normal red chili powder if you do not have Kashmiri red chili powder.
You can replace gram flour/besan with cashew paste too. Soak cashew nuts in warm water for 5 minutes and then grind it to a fine paste.
You can skip adding kasuri methi to the recipe. Add coriander leaves to make a simple egg curry. This also tastes delicious.
