Made today for luunch tastes good, but there was a little smell of old coconut
ReplyDeleteYes.. if the dry coconut is old then it would give away bad smell. If you used new dry coconut, then it must not be your fault. Often goda masala that you get in the market is prepared using old coconut. Hence it is advisable to buy spices from trusted shops..
