Slightly brown the panifal, potato, cocoanut and moistened grams in ghee and then add water with powdered turmeric, coriander, pepper, cumin and salt. After a time add browned bori, a little milk and a pinch of sugar. Season the curry when it is boiled with ghee heated with a few cassia leaves and cardamom seeds. Add powdered garam-masalla and take down when the soup is thick.
