Coconut & Potato Sambhar

We love this yummy spicy coconut and potato combination with khichdi but it also goes well with rotis and chutney.
Servings 4 people

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups grated fresh coconut
  • 2-3 green chillies
  • 1/4 tsp garlic paste
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
  • salt to taste
  • 2 fresh tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp fresh coriander chopped
  • 4-5 potatoes peeled and cubed
  • oil as needed

Instructions
 

  • Fry the potato cubes and set aside.
    Blend the coconut with tomatoes, salt, coriander and green chillies
    Heat some oil (about 4 tbsp) in a karai/wok and add the garlic paste. Then add the blended coconut mixture and turmeric powder. Cook on medium heat whilst stirring very often until the coconut becomes golden. It’s OK if it sticks to the bottom of the pan, just turn off the heat and let it cool slightly and it will release on its own. Keep cooking the mixture until it smells really good and looks golden. Adjust salt to your taste, then add the fried potatoes. Mix together and turn off the heat. 
    Serve!

    AOA. Dear Fauzia can we use the dried coconut shreds/flakes that come in a packet?

      Haven’t tried with that but I guess it should be ok. My concern is that maybe the results might end up being too dry.
