Garlic and almonds are the main ingredients in this preparation,therefore we have used 6-8 cloves of garlic and 6 almonds.If you are not a garlic lover you may reduce the count to 4,but trust me garlic makes the dish truly exotic.
If you do not have almonds you can use pecans or cashew nut,however if you are using cashew nut I recommend you to roast them in little oil and then grind.
Note: the use of cashew nut with slightly change the flavor of the dish,therefore I strongly recommend you to use almonds.Moreover almonds are more healthy for the diet than cashew nut.
