    Hi Shaki,

    You use the same ingredients as above but use less coconut to make the curry more pungent and spicy. Alternatively, instead of coconut milk, you can grind 5 tablespoons of fresh/desiccated coconut while grinding the masala. You may also add 2 or 3 slit green chillies and a small piece of chopped ginger to the curry while boiling.

    Hope this tip is useful to you.

    Hi Reshma,

    Instead of coconut milk, you can use grated fresh coconut for grindinvg the masala. It will taste equally good.

    Wish you good luck.
