Notes: 

• You will need thick curd for this recipe, if you think it is thin place it over the strainer for few minutes to remove excess water.
• You can also use Greek yogurt instead of curd.
• The curd you are using should not be too sour.
• If you are using malai instead of cream make sure to pass it through a sieve to get the smooth gravy, or whisk it well if you do not bother to strain.
• Make sure to stir continuously when you add the curd mixture until it comes to a boil, to prevent curdling.
• Add the sugar after tasting the gravy,you may not need to add it if the curd is fresh,or add according to taste.
