Theeyals /roasted coconut(dark brown gravy) curry is common in the southern parts of India mostly Kerala.The usual trend is with dry roasting the coconut and heating the spices together and then grinding to a fine paste with a touch of tamarind.Its a very tasty curry with just hot steamed rice.No other additional side dish is required.I always love to have my mom's version;however I cannot reach upto her mark,but a good one.This recipe is bookmarked from my mom's recipes.
Earlier I had successfully tried the Bitter gourd theeyal,the recipe is here.The steps remain the same and the only difference is the change of main ingredient.Moreover,this is a better version for those who donot love bittergourds.
Ingredients
button mushroom 10-12 sliced
shallots 10 sliced
green chilli 3
garlic 3 cloves
coconut grated 1/2 cup
chilly powder 1tsp
coriander powder 1tsp
turmeric powder 1/2tsp
