This is an authentic Sadhya item of Kerala. A typical Vegetarian meal is not complete without this dish. It is very easy to prepare and quick one too. You can make it more tasty by adding more coconut than mentioned. As here the availability of our Indian coconut is dependent on Indian grocery stores, we manage with less coconut and make ourselves satisfied with the taste.
