- Instead of adding chopped onion to the balls, you can also grind it along with the dal.
- While making the balls, make them smaller in size, about the size of a small lemon. I made it large, for the sake of photography.
- Do not over steam the dumplings, they would become hard.
- Adding shallots (red pearl onions) would give the best flavor to the gravy. Since I did not have shallots in hand, I used regular onions.
- The gravy itself should be little thin, since the balls would absorb the liquid from the gravy while cooling down.
- Using Gingelly / Sesame Oil gives the best flavor to the gravy.
