Thanks Happy cook, Vanamala, Namratha, Sagari for your comments

@ Raks Kitchen, deepa, lavanya- i used the normal red chilli powder only...using kashmiri chill powder for a better colour is a good idea. I normally dont use food colour ,..probably the red tomato did wonders to the colour

@ Padmaja... drop in anytime
