I love to try some different flavours. I saw this Coconut base Veg gravy from Goan Cusine. At first I was attracted by the color of it but when I was checking online, I also loved the fact of using freshly grinded spices. I have decided to give it a try. I have used my own mix of spices according to our family preference you can adjust to your taste. However there are few must ingredients Kashmiri chilli, onion, coconut, Garlic. This paste can be used to prepare mutton, chicken curry too. I wanted to try out Rice with this too
