One of the foundational sauces of South Indian cooking, this sauce is made by combining coconut milk with mustard seed, coriander and curry leaf bloomed in hot oil. Its body comes purely from the fat in the coconut milk itself, which keeps it ketogenic and low-carb friendly.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Bloom the spices

5 min

Heat the coconut oil and add the mustard seeds; once they start to crackle, add the curry leaf and dried red chilli.

2

Add the garlic

2 min

Add the garlic and turmeric and cook for another 2 minutes.

3

Thicken

35 min

Add the coconut milk and salt, and simmer over low heat for 35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.

4

Add the coriander

3 min

Remove from the heat, stir in the fresh coriander, and serve.

Reminder

Use a lid when you add the mustard seeds to the hot oil, they pop and can spatter. Allergens: coconut is not a shellfish product, but those with tree nut sensitivities should still take care.

Sosun 35 dakikada koyulaşacağı yazıyor ama benimki 45 dakikada bile hâlâ akışkandı, hindistan cevizi sütünün markası mı etkiliyor bilmiyorum; kalabalık bir sofra için yeterince koyu olmayınca biraz hayal kırıklığı oldu.

Haklısınız, hindistan cevizi sütünün yağ oranı markadan markaya değişebiliyor ve bu doğrudan koyulaşma süresini etkiliyor. Yağ oranı düşük bir marka kullandıysanız 10-15 dakika daha kısık ateşte pişirmeniz yeterli olur, tarifi buna göre güncelleyeceğim.
