For easy use transfer this to a pressure cooker and cook it well.Normally my cooker takes 5-6 whistles.When every thing cooked well you will get a thick gravy with little brownish in colour.
Open the cooker and add 1/4 tsp garam masala and curry leaves.cook it for 1 minute and mix until all flavours are well blended.
This curry tastes best when it is cool and goes well with pathiri, chapati and ghee rice.
