1. I prefer using mustard oil in all my cooking.
2. For best results follow the recipe as variations might alter the taste.
3. Having said that, salt, oil & chilli are a personal choice, and should be added according to one's taste.
4. Mutton mince can also be replaced by Chicken mince.
5. Karelas can also be replaced by parval or tindas.
