      Hi there!
      Just having a lit bit of confusion. After frying all the spices you again asked to fry onions, coconut, garlic and coriander. For this should I need to add oil to fry or just dry roast them????
      Thanks

      Cathy I have separated the two sections..:)..I know it must have been confusing to have clubbed it together. The ingredients listed under ground masala should be roasted in a tsp of oil, ground to smooth paste.

      For the gravy you need to cook the onions listed under gravy separately. Read through the method again, it should be clear now. Hope you enjoy this
