Notes
Dos and Don'ts while using coconut in your kitchen.
Whenever you make a curry or gravy with fresh coconut, see that the curry does not boil too much. There is a chance of the coconut curdling and the curry will not look good. You have to just bring the curry to boil, simmer for a munite and remoce from fire at once. Stir for a minute and then cover.
If you want to store aviyal for the next day, just cool it under the fan , bring it to room temperature and then refrigerate immediately.
