1 medium Onion sliced
1 hot green pepper sliced
4-6 curry leaves
2 pieces rampe
2 cloves garlic
2 tsps Raw curry powder
1/8 tsp. Turmeric powder
1/8 tsp. finely ground, dry mustard
1/2 tsp. fenugreek seeds
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp medium tomato (cut into pieces) or 1/4 cup canned tomatoes
1 tsp Maldive fish (optional)
1 cup water
2 cups thick Coconut milk

METHOD

Take all ingredients (except coconut milk) into a saucepan and cook on slow heat.
When the onions are soft and tomatoes are cooked, add coconut milk.

Do not let the mixture boil. Take off heat, adjust salt and add a squeeze of lemon juice.
It is important to keep stirring after adding coconut milk to prevent the milk from coagulating.
