There is a mistake in the Red Chili powder proportions, your website (text) has the right amount : 21/2 teaspoons
Your video(youtube) link has incorrect instructions 21/2 tbsps, which made it too spicy when i prepared it.
if you can correct your video that would be great.
BINDU
Hi! Rajan.Thank you so much for correcting the mistake….I have updated it in the video…. 🙂
