NOTE :

Actually It was just an experimental  cooking, but it comes out great. It is really yummy, me and my husband really like it very much. If you need,  adjust seasoning and add or remove ingredients to suit personal taste. You can use 2, 3 thinly chopped green chilles instead of Dried red chilli flakes.
