Notes
Pressure cooker isn’t very necessary. Other options can be in any type of cookware like a pot, wok or a deep pan etc. Paprika powder can be substituted with a very mild chili powder. Although, it makes the dish a bit spicy. This dish may substitute meat as it contains higher nutrition. Also goes very well with bread, rice or roti.
