Kerala and coastal Karnataka cooking. Unmistakable, and not optional in those dishes.
What to know

- Try: sunflower oil
Measures
- 1 tsp ≈ 4.5 g
- 1 tbsp ≈ 13.5 g

Cups here are the Indian 200 ml cup, not the 240 ml US cup — a common reason a recipe does not work. Weigh where you can; the grams are the figure we cook to.
