Notes
- Cooking beans – I usually pressure cook the butter beans for 2 whistles, you can even boil in open pot but it takes longer time.
- Grind smooth – When grinding coconut and fennel, make it semi fine, not too coarse or not too smooth, that gives right texture.
- Spice level – I like it medium spicy, you can add more red chilli powder if you like heat, or replace with sambar powder for different taste.
- Consistency – I make it semi dry version, but if you want more gravy, just add little extra water and cook less time.
- Oil choice – You can use coconut oil for that authentic taste, You can use any cooking oil of your choice
