  4. In a mixer, combine coconut, yogurt, cumin seeds, curry leaves add all of them and ground them to fine smooth paste

  5. Add the grounded paste to the mango gravy and cook over medium flame until the raw smell of the paste leaves, about 8-10 minutes.

  6. Switch off the flame and keep the gravy aside.

  7. In a small pan, add coconut oil and add mustard seeds, urad dal, curry leaves and wait till the mustard seeds splutter.

  8. Add seasoning to the Pulissery. Allow the gravy to settle down for about 20 minutes
