Your idea has opened a whole new chapter in cooking. The coconut picture is so beautiful!. I wish I can frame it an hang it in my kitchen as an inspiration to cook health, fresh and nutrious meals for my family. Is this he same masala that you use for making Aloo bhath? Thanks again, Padmaja Dear Indira,

I love tuvar dal, and I love this evocative photo of tuvar, coconut and mint. It reminded me of my first glimpse of fresh tuvar - a heap of pretty, shapely pods in the market in Dakor, a dusty little temple town in Gujarat.

How do you extract the flesh from the shell? I have a hard time separating the flesh from the shell and end up with cuts and scratches. Is there an easy way out? Do you use any graters? Appreciate your reply. Thank you very much. Jasper. Hi Indira,
