Serve warm with steamed rice!

My Notes:

• Dont let it cook for more time after coconut milk is added just a single boil is enough.If you overboil then it might curdle.
• The consistency should be thin more like rasam so adjust water level accordingly.
• Add the tempered items when greens is half cooked so that onion garlic gets cooked too along with greens.
• Arisi Mandi is nothing but the water we use for rinsing and washing raw rice before cooking.
