• Directions for curry:

2. Also soak kokum in hot water and keep aside.
3. Heat oil in a small bottom pan on medium flame and when it is heated, add mustard seeds.
4. When mustard seed has spluttered, add cumin seed, green chilly, curry leaves, onion and stir this mixture allowing it to fry.
5. When onions have softened, add turmeric, garlic and hing and stir it up
6. Stir the Kuleet slurry first so that all Kuleet settled at the bottom is mixed thoroughly. Now pour this liquid slurry slowly and mixing with the other hand ensuring that the paste does not stick.
