I used less than half the oil and it was terrific. I used olive oil as a healthy choice option.

I made the Bhindi Fry last night and we loved it! Great recipe. I wasn't sure when to add the coconut powder so I just added it with the tumeric.
It was perfect with the Goan Fish w/gravy, and the Dal I made using the Beluga Black tiny lentils-love them. BTW here they are available at Trader Joe's.
The Dal contained coriander, chile, Kashmiri Mirch, salt, onions, garlic,cumin,cloves, curry leaf, and asafoetida. I am not sure which region it is from, but a way I learned from friends in Delhi.
