Notes
- If you don't like the spices flavour then here is an alternate : for tempering add mustard seeds and urad dal and for grinding grind coconut with jeera. You can replace red chilli powder with sambar powder.
- The consistency is purely your choice. You can even cook for few more mins to make it nicely roasted till dry or switch off earlier with gravy. I made it semi dry for mixing with rice.
- This curry is medium spicy, adjust red chilli powder according to your preference.
