In the same pan, add a teaspoon of coconut oil. Add grated coconut and dry red chillies. Roast until the coconut turns reddish brown. Turn off the flame, let it cool, and grind to a smooth paste with enough water.- 5
In a cooking pot, heat a tablespoon of coconut oil. Add crushed ginger and garlic, and sauté for a minute.- 6
Add sliced onions, curry leaves, green chillies, and ½ teaspoon salt (or as required). Sauté until the onions turn soft and translucent.- 7
