4.  Add some water if needed. Add sugar and ketchup. Ketchup is used for the color. Add fresh cream. After adding fresh  cream, gravy will get thick a little. Add water accordingly. Then add Garam Masala.. 
5. Add Tikkas and after five minutes  switch off the flame and serve it with chapathi or roti..
6.  Fresh cream is nothing but 'aadai' or 'malai' which forms over the boiled milk.  Just take it out daily and keep it in a airtight box in fridge. The day when you are going to prepare, just take malai from the fridge. Whisk for some time and your Fresh Cream is ready.
