Notes
1.1 cup(250g) approximately (250-300)gms of Dalia has been used by me in this recipe
2.Garlic pods are optional.People who don't prefer garlic can very well avoid it.
3.The quantity of red chillies can be increased to the desired amount.People who prefer to have it very spicy can increase to 9 no's.
