Notes
1. Maldives dry fish is optional. If it is hard to find Maldives dry fish, you can avoid that.
2. I instantly prepared coconut milk from grated coconut. If it is hard to find grated coconut use coconut milk powder or bottled coconut milk.
3. If you don’t like more spiciness, reduce the amount of curry powder and the number of green chilies.
