Tips : 1.Salt the radish with no more than 1/2 tsp of salt otherwise the entire dish tastes very salty
2. Squeezing out all the moisture from the radish improves the taste of the dish.
3. Do not burn the garlic or shredded coconut, they produce a lot of flavour to the dish when cooked right
4. Try to use fresh garlic and fresh dry coconut in this curry.
