In the above mention recipe you didn't mention when to put onion and I am sorry the recipe was not at all achari but yes was delicious in simple way but not what it says and I had to cook all this again because you haven't mention onion,

Response: Hello Sana, the onion is not used in this recipe and hence it is not mentioned in the ingredients and in the method.
