Mutton Gravy with Coconut Milk- Guest Post

This is a Guest Post from Mrs. Dilsha Maqbool.
She is a happy home-maker. Loves to cook. When we asked her a guest recipe for our blog, with all enthusiasm and love, she shared her recipe with us.
Well, when you make Idiyappam you sort of need more gravy with it. To overcome the problem instead of adding water, we add the coconut milk. The addition of coconut milk not only increases the quantity but also the taste. As a result it increases the intake of idiyappam also.. ha ha .
