Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup grated dried unsweetened coconut
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 small fresh green chile, such as serrano, Thai, or jalapeƱo, slit lengthwise with stem end intact
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 cup water
Salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon brown mustard seeds

  • Stir together coconut, cumin, coriander, cayenne, turmeric, chile, garlic, 1/4 cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
  • Heat oil in a wok or 12-inch heavy skillet (not nonstick) over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then cook mustard seeds and red pepper flakes until mustard seeds begin to pop and/or turn gray. Add curry leaves (if using), covering skillet immediately as they crackle for a few seconds.
