My accidental variation includes using coconut 🙂

I stumbled upon dried coconut flakes sold in a German supermarket near me. Usually, I use coconut milk for cooking .. but it has a bit of preservative involved .. so I thought of trying this out.

Recipe:

  1. Coconut masala
    • Soak 1/2 cup of coconut flakes in water
    • In a pot heat about 3-4 spoons of oil
    • Add 1 spoon of mustard seeds and let them pop
    • Add 1 chopped onion
    • Add 1 cm of cinnamon and 1 cardamon
    • Add 2 garlic and 1/2 cm of ginger
    • Add 1 spoon of dried fenugreek leaves
    • Add 1 spoon of turmeric and chilly powder each
    • Add 3 spoons of garam masala
    • Saute till the onions are soft
    • Add 1 finely chopped tomato
    • Saute till the tomatoes are soft
    • Add the soaked coconut flakes
    • Saute for 5-7 min
    • Blend the mix and keep aside
  2. Aloo mutter
    • Cut 2-3 potatoes into decent sized cubes
    • In a hot pan add 3 spoons of oil and saute the potatoes
    • Add 1 spoon of dried fenugreek leaves and 1/2 spoon of Kashmiri mirch (less pungent red chilly)
    • Add 1/4 spoon of black pepper
    • Gently toss the potatoes and continue sauteing until the potatoes are a bit crispy of at least 2 sides
    • Add the blended mix
    • Add 1/2 cup of green peas
    • Add salt to taste

Voila!
