The spices used here can be adjusted as per your requirement of the spiciness of the gravy.
To make the gravy thick, you can add small amount of Gram Flour to the gravy.
Here we have added Kashmiri Chilli Powder to give reddish colour to the gravy. You can skip it if you want to.
Red Chilli Powder can be used in place of Green Chilli to bring spiciness to the gravy.
