Notes
- Vary the amount of chili powder and green chilies as per your taste. This taste the best when its spicy and tangy. I added green chili today as the red chili powder was not spicy enough.
- Add the amount of water in the recipe depending on the desired consistency.
- Use ripe and juicy tomatoes for best results.
- For traditional Karnataka-style gojju, you can use rasam powder instead of chili powder.
- The more you simmer, the better it tastes.
