2 nos Big onions — chopped
1 tbsp Red chilly powder
1 ½ Coriander powder
1 tsp Garam Masala

1 tbsp Coconut Oil
1 tsp Mustard seeds
4 nos Shallots — chopped (kunjulli)
2 nos Red chillies
1 Stem Curry leaves

Step 2
In a pressure cooker, boil the kadala along with chopped big onions.
Step 3
Grind the coriander powder, garam masala and the red chilly powder.
Step 4
Mix this with cooked kadala, add salt and let it boil. Add coconut milk and bring to boil.

Tip

The oil separating from the masala is your signal that the base is properly cooked. Do not add the main ingredient before you see those pools of oil on the surface.
