A tasty and delicious Indian dish. I found the recipe in a Persian cooking book, Ketab-e Mostatab-e Ashpazi, az Sir ta Piaz, by Najaf DaryaBandari. The original recipe asks for fresh coconut flakes, which definitely gives the dish an authentic fresh taste. If you don't have access to fresh flakes then the dried flakes would also do. If you are using dried flakes, go with unsweetened ones for the original taste. However, if you like sweet dishes as I do, the sweetened coconut flakes would also make an interesting excellent taste.
