Instructions
Preparing the coconut paste
- Grind all the ingredients mentioned under the heading above "for the coconut paste" with ½ to ¾ cup water to a smooth and fine consistency in a sturdy grinder or blender. Keep this coconut paste aside.
Preparing sorak curry
- Heat coconut oil in pan. Then add the sliced onions.
- Sauté the sliced onions till they turn translucent and are softened.
- Now add the ground coconut paste. Stir and mix very well.
- Next add 2 cups of water or as required. Stir and mix again. Simmer for 5 mins on a medium-low to medium heat.
- Add salt as per taste.
- Next add the green chilies and kokums.
- On a medium-low to medium heat, simmer until the curry bubbles and you see some oil specks on top.
- You can opt to garnish the curry with some coriander leaves if you prefer.
- Turn off the stovetop and serve Sorak Curry hot with steamed rice.
Notes
- The curry is mildly spiced but you could add more red chilies if you like it spicy.
- You could also reduce the number of green chilies in the curry.
- The curry tastes best with fresh coconut, but you could make it with frozen coconut. Ensure that the frozen coconut has a lovely nutty aroma, and has a fresh faintly sweet taste. It should not look slimy or sticky and must also not taste sour or bitter.
- Sorak has a medium consistency but you could make it slightly thick if you prefer by reducing the amount of water.
- If kokum isn't available then:- If using tamarind, add 1 teaspoon tamarind while grinding the coconut paste.- If using tamarind paste, add ¼ teaspoon directly in the curry. You can add more if required. - If using tomatoes, then add 1 medium tomato while grinding the coconut paste.
