Keep in the mind


Use fresh coconut.Fresh coconut gives good taste than frozen one.
You can fry tindura separately after that  add it to seasonings and fried onions.
For deep fry use kitchen napkins for remove excess of oil from tindura pieces.
Add red chilli powder after completely fring of the tindura pieces.because if we add red chili power before frying of the tindura pieces then red chilli powder gives the good colour to the fry even tindura pieces not fried well.
