MY NOTES

*Dont grind the coconut masala into a watery paste becoz kadappa will be burnt.

*Always add the coconut paste in top of the ingredients.

*If you dont have a time /forget to soak the dal add more water while cooking and give more whistle to cook.

*If the kadappa is thin then boil it for further more mins.

*Kadappa is in white colour if you wish add turmeric powder.Instead of lemon juice you can add 1 chopped tomato.
