CAUTION:  Non Indians should take care of while taking amount of red chili or green chili , here i'm writing according to my own taste , you may require less spicy than what i wrote here . So that you will enjoy the recipe . In India we use more masala and chili powder so please use less amount of spices if you are non -indian. Even in case of oil , i'm using an average  , you can use more or less to it
