Coconut paste? Can I use dried coconut flakes wet grinded in a food proceser?

christy gerald

Add thick tamarind pulp - of 2 cm size tamarind 3 mins before adding coconut paste .if u add tamarind pulp,then don't add ginger garlic paste.this tastes gr8.

you can also do this Kuzhambu by adding the coconut paste 5 minutes before putting fish pieces. add the chopped coriander leaves when you put the fish pieces. (to get tasty Fish Kuzhambu)
