Tips for taste:
In some parts in South Tamilnadu (India) and in Srilanka people add a dry fish powder called maasi/maldives fish powder, that takes this dish to another level. As far as i know we can still get this fish in tuticorin. This recipe is without that fish-pure vegetarian ingredients.
If the seeds of the green chilis are removed it'll get milder.
