nutmeg is jaiphal
whts nutmeg?
Would appreciate if you could elaborate on "whole green masala" and when you say 1/2 nutmeg, you mean half of the whole nutmeg? This will be too much. Does the ingredients under the green masala have to be ground in the mixer. Please explain.
Interesting recipe, but is the Hara masala to be chopped or ground please clarify.
