Introduction

The Flavour and basic Recipe is for a classic Non-Vegetarian Meat dish which is one of the most loved of all Indian Curries.
I love converting some of these Non-Vegetarian recipes into Vegetarian ones 'coz I don't see why the taste should be confined only to dishes enjoyed by a select few.
