(Optional - You can omit adding tomato paste if you yogurt you are using is very tangy/tart.) -

Savita's Recipe Notes:
This recipe requires mild yogurt. If you are using is very tart/tangy yogurt, you should not add Tomato paste in recipe or blend 2-4 tbsp milk in yogurt to balance out the tanginess.© Chef De Home. Post content including video and photos are copyright protected.
