My friend makes this curry with a very dry gravy so she can serve it with "Ghadichi PoLi". I add more water to make "rassa" or a thin gravy and I love to serve it with sourdough bread.

Note -
1. This curry can also be made as a very dry curry. It goes by the name "Masala Anda". If making dry/thick curry, serve it with Ghadichi PoLi. If making as a currry with thin consistency, serve with pav/bread. Crusty ciabatta goes really well with the thin curry.
