note : what i missed , was one ingredient.
the authentic kashmiri dish has a spoon of cock's comb flower water added at the end.

cock's comb ( kozhi kondai in tamil) is boiled in water and strained; it is then added at the end which gives the dish a good red colour!!

*and adding onion is my version, the original does not have onion !
