6. Curry leaves

Method:

2. In a pan...heat a little oil.
3. Add mustard seeds...when it cracks, add the urad and chana dal to it....
4. Add the curry leaves and chillies....when the dal turns brown, add grated coconut to it
5. Saute till the raw smell of the coconut goes.
6. Do not roast it...the white colour of the coconut is to be retained....it wont taste good, if it gets roasted. Cook it just for 2-3 min on medium flame.
