Rice and curry is something which people are grown up eating as a meal. The tanginess of tomatoes is balanced with the sweetness of coconut and spices. Here I have added Kashmiri red chili to give the curry a nice Texture colour. However according to the type of chili used the spiciness of the dish varies and the quantity of the chili can be adjusted.

Like most of the coconut recipes this curry also goes well with steamed rice along with some salad. Even some pickle can also be served with this. Even stir fried veggies can also be served as a side dish with this curry and rice.
