Instead of coocnut milk from the tin you can make your own coconut milk. For this recipe you will require the milk of one coconut. Scrape the coconut. Squeeze the grated coconut with your hand to remove as much milk as possible. Then add some hot water and remove some more milk. You could do it one more time for a third extraction of milk. Cook the vegetables in the first and second milk which would be thin. Add the first milk just before you pour the oil and put in the curry leaves and mix well, do not boil the dish after the first milk is added, it may curdle.
Enjoy this too!!!
