bhindi ka salan

one of my friend is hyderabadi and she told for most salan recipes, yogurt is used to add up the taste, tanginess to the gravy. however, today i am adding tamarind pulp for the tanginess.

  3. I tried it came out very well. I like the way you explain in step by step. I like all your recipes too.

  4. What if I don’t have dry coconut? I have only moist and sweetened coconut/unsweetened coconut flakes? Which one to use?
