Recipe Notes

Additional Tips

  • For extra creaminess and a richer flavor, blend a small portion of the cooked green gram and add it back to the gravy before simmering with milk.
  • To enhance the crunch and add texture, toss in a handful of roasted peanuts or cashews just before serving.
  • If you prefer a vegan version, substitute the milk with coconut milk or a nut-based milk for added depth and a subtle sweetness that pairs beautifully with the spices.
  • This gravy can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently with a splash of water or milk to restore its original consistency before serving.
