Dahiwale Amrud | Guava Curry with Yogurt

Dahiwale Amrud recipe with step by step photos.I had posted a Guava Sabzi recipe some time back, it is a quick curry made out of very few ingredients yet very flavorful and tastes nice. It has become a norm to prepare guava sabzi when ever I get guavas home and have recently tried another version with yogurt -Dahiwale Amrud from Sanjeev Kapoor's book,this tastes good too but I like the other version better.Dahiwale Amrud is typically a marwadi dish and you can definitely try it for a change to the usual cooking.

Here is how to make dahiwale amrud with step by step photos.
