Chef Tips from the Video

• Use a dry pan for the initial spice roast; any water will steam the spices and reduce flavor.
• Grating fresh coconut adds natural oil that enhances the aroma; avoid using desiccated coconut if you want authentic texture.
• Roasting the ground spice mix briefly with ghee at the end locks in the flavors.

Troubleshooting

Make-Ahead Tips
