You have a great website and I absolutely love all the recipes and the photos that accompany them. You have been a life saver as my husband hates cooking and I get bored making the same things over and over again:).
I was wondering if I could substitute coconut or eliminate it from the recipes as my husband has high cholesterol and needs to avoid coconut as much as possible. Any suggestions will be appreciated, thank you!

Hi Aparna,
Thank you for the good words. I greatly appreciate them!
Even without coconut, most of the recipes taste very good and I often prepare in that way for my everyday cooking. And for gravy curries, poppy seeds work well in place of coconut. Poppy seeds have low calories, the fat content is also extremely low. Putnala pappulu or dalia also good to thicken the gravy.
I wanted to portray the traditional recipes in accurate manner on Mahanandi, that’s why I mention and add coconut. For health reasons, I recommend total elimination. There might be little bit of taste difference, but it’s very easy to get used to. Hope this helps.

Joe…I would think that using edamame instead of the lima beans is possible, but you would certainly be getting something altogether different. They taste completely different,but no harm in trying out though.

Nupur..thanks.
yum.. okra sambhar, my favorite. I am happy that you tried and enjoyed the recipe.

Mmmm…looks so colorful and yummy! Off-topic, Indira, I tried your recipe for okra sambar last night. It was mouth-watering! The combination is amazing, thanks a lot for a great recipe

Do you think Edamame would be an OK sub for the lima beans here?
