Kitchen Masti Points

1. You can add cashew paste for a richer taste. 
2. If you feel the gravy is too spicy, then omit the red chilli powder.
3. Instead of water, you can also add little milk for a different taste.
4. You can also use fresh coconut scrapings instead of dry ones, but remember to fry it before grinding.
