Tips
Rice should be over cooked otherwise your dish will not taste good.
Add fresh peanuts instead of roasted one.
Try to make it watery as it will become thick once it starts cooling.
If you are storing the masala powder try to use dry coconut,fresh coconut will not last long.
Small onions gives you better taste.
