Notes
1.Here I have used desiccated coconut but freshly grated coconut too can be used instead of dry coconut.
2.If one does not prefer using coconut then just add paste of green chillies and coriander leaves.
3.Here I have used slow cooking method rather than making it in the pressure cooker and slow cooked method gives the best taste.
4.One can add additional spices such as bay leaf into the curry.
5.To make the tomato puree, blend the tomatoes directly in a blender or another method is boil the tomatoes, peel the skin and then make the puree, but in this recipe I have made the puree of the tomatoes directly and cooked the puree well enough.
