what a stunning colour, Sailu!Do you think it would work if I reduce the jaggery as I am not too fond of the sweetness?

You can reduce jaggery and the amount of red chillis as well.

Looks awesome but I dont think 5 red chillis will bring that much colour.

Kashmiri red chillis give a nice red color and probably we used more than 5 chil lis to suit

our palate.
