Notes

Chilly powder can be substituted by dry red chillies.

I have used store bought dry garted coconut That is why i have added the coconut before the vegetable is cooked so that the coconut will turn out soft by the time the vegetable cooks completely. U can use fresh grated coconut if u have, do add fresh coconut at the end.
