Tips for making tasty curry

Preferably use sesame oil to get its benefits and it tastes great too. When you do not have sesame oil, you can opt for groundnut oil. I used 1/4 cup oil, which is essential and I don’t advise cutting on sesame oil quantity.

Further, as we use more sesame oil, it tastes good and it can be stored for about a week time. If you want to store more than 2 days, I recommend not to add coconut.

For immediate consumption or to store for 1 to 2 days, adding coconut is okay.

I prefer to make in small quantities and consume on same days; so I added grated coconut to enhance the taste with coconut flavor.

If you do not like coconut flavor or do not have coconut at the moment, you can very well ignore it.

Final tip is, using shallots and Indian garlic for this curry is very important. Unless you don’t have access to these 2 ingredients, do not replace them with big onion and Chinese garlic.
