Olive oil..doesn't clog ur arteries..so use them lavishly...They make ur skin glowing...

First decide the color of the gravy...If u want the gravy to be red in color..Dont grind the green chillies(just slit the green chillies and throw them in the gravy)..as grinding green and red chillies..give the curry a mixed color..

If u want the curry to be green..avoid grinding red chillies and also adding too much of red chilli powder..,,For the green color grind green chillies and corriander leaves..which gives the gravy a pleasant green color...

Simple trick Rite !!! :)
