Author's Notes: This is from the Taj at Madras and if you like fish and
coconut, absolutely delicious.
The same recipe can be done with chicken and lamb as well. The original
recipe called for one fresh grated coconut or 2 \)12 cups of dessicated
coconut. The milk of the coconut is extracted in two stages and are added
in place of the cans of milk in the recipe above. The coconut is added in
the ghee with the onions and the spice paste in the initial frying stage to
make a richer gravy.
Difficulty : rather high. Precision
: measure ingredients.
