Notes
- I have purposely used red chilly in this tambli, as I wanted a unique color.
- You can use green chilly too and you'll end up with completely green colored tambli.
- Do not use sour buttermilk / yoghurt, instead use fresh one.
- Don't roast the leaves for long, that may vanish the goodness totally.
- Adjust consistency by adding little more water or buttermilk.
- Always keep the leftover tambli refrigerated.
