Nice introduction. But you've left us all guessing what that surprise thickening ingredient is. And what mess you would end up making if you use too much! I'm guessing....yogurt
hmmmmm no its not yogurt, it is daal masoor, and if u use more than what chef Zakir specified in his recipe, it will taste more like daal than mutton curry. He mentioned this is what used in restaurants to get thick gravy.
