Ingredients

  • Coconut gratings – 1 cup

  • Red chilli – 2 Nos

  • In a kadai, add a teaspoon of oil and separately fry the asafetida, dhals, and chillies until aromatic. Using the same kadai, add a little more oil and sauté finely chopped ginger until tender. Just before removing the mixture from heat, toss in the coconut and fry briefly for about a second.
