    2. Add 4 soaked whole dry kashmiri red chillies, broken into pieces. They impart a beautiful, deep red color to the gravy, enhancing its visual appeal.
    3. Add 1/2 cup roughly chopped onions. Onions are cooked down to form a smooth paste, which serves as the foundation for the creamy, almond-flavored gravy.
    4. Add 12 mm piece of ginger (adrak). Ginger has a pungent and slightly sweet flavor that adds complexity and depth to the creamy almond-based gravy.
    5. Add 1 tsp roughly chopped garlic (lehsun). The slight sharpness of garlic can balance the sweetness of the almonds and cream in the gravy.
    6. Add 1/2 cup water.

CB - really yummy and easy to make! However, I felt the garlic overshadowed the taste of the badam. I would make it next next without garlic and lesser whole red chilli

The recipe surely looks delicious but I couldn''t make it as it requires a microwave which I don''t have. One suggestion, kindly tag recipes which requires any specific cooking medium like microwave as everybody might not have one. Rest the app and recipes are superb. Kindly add a section of quick and easy recipes for bachelors or single people. Thanks for this mouthwatering app :)
