 Notes –

You can add any veggies of your choice to prepare this curry and follow the same procedure.

Instead of cooking raw banana separately you can cook it within the curry by adding little water, the vegetable must absorb the water and when it is done, finally add curry powder and grated coconut. Which is the other method to prepare this recipe.
