8.Add paste to pan and cook in low flame till the raw smell goes away.It can be cooked by covering with lid for 5-7 mins.
9.Add 1/2 cup curd to pan.The curd should be whisked so it easily gets mixed with the paste without forming lumps.Cook for a minute.
10.Add 1 cup of milk and 2 tsp of cream and keep stirring till it gets mixed and let it cook for 5 minutes.The gravy would become thick and creamy texture.
Add 1 tsp of pepper powder and required amount of salt.Also add 3-4 tsp of sugar and cook for a minute.When the sugar melts and caramelizes it gives a nice flavour and glaze texture.
