  • When this is getting done, add a tsp of chilly garlic sauce. Once the masala is done, add soya sauce and roast it for 1 more minute.
  • When done, add a little water just enough to make a thick gravy. Add salt as rrquired.
  • When the gravy starts boiling, add the fried frog legs and mix it together. Be careful while mixing as the legs would tear easily. Leave it for some time until water is gone and the gravy covers the frog legs. Remove from flame and add some coriander leaves and chopped green onions.
