- Saute for 2mins then sprinkle little water and cook covered till it turns soft and raw smell leaves.
- Add required salt.Once it becomes dry add coconut, give a quick stir and switch off.
My Notes:
- Amma always adds coconut only after switching off any poriyal as raw coconut is not much of cholesterol she says so using it as raw as much as possible is good.
