Total Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

  • 1 Fresh Grated Coconut Or 400 Gms fresh Grated Coconut
  • 10 to 12  Kokam immersed in half cup water

  • 8 to 10 Garlic Cloves
  • 2 Kashmiri Red Chilies
  • Few Coriander Strands
  • Salt as per taste
  • 2 cups Water

Method:

Take the fresh grated coconut and grind into a form paste. Add little water if required. Strain the coconut puree with linen cloth. Squeeze all the milk form the coconut. This is your thick coconut Milk.

Now take the residue of coconut or left over coconut pulp. Again grind them with 1 cup water. Strain again for coconut milk in a linen cloth. This is your thin coconut milk.

Take a wok or vessel add oil. Once oil is hot add cumin seeds. Saute curry leaves, garlic, Asofoetida, Kashmiri Red Chillies, Mustard seeds and few coriander leaves to it. Saute everything for about a minute on low fire.

Tip:

  1. Don’t reheat this curry. Just refrigerate them and remove 1 hour prior eating. If you re heatthe curry will get spoiled because of coconut milk.
  2. Once you saute the spices ensure you switch the gas off. Otherwise your kokam curry will get spoiled.
