Notes
- The curry gets to thicken faster so switch it off accordingly may be a bit runny so that once it cools down it gets to the right consistency.
- You can even mash up veggies before adding it to the curry.
- Take care to keep stirring after curd is added to avoid curd from curdling.
- Keep in lowest flame after curd is added.
- In case if you are skeptical about curd curdling then add coconut mixture cook well switch off and finally add curd with spice powders and tempering.
- You can even pressure cook the vegetables.
