Method
Dry roast the dry coconut in a pan on low flame for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until it turns reddish brown. Move it to a mixer jar.
Heat 2 tsp oil in the same pan. Add the onion, garlic and ginger and fry on medium flame for 8 to 10 minutes until the onion is deep golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes and add to the jar.
Add 1/4 cup of the water and grind to a smooth, thick paste.
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a kadai. Add the paste and fry on low flame for 5 minutes until oil separates. Add the turmeric powder, red chilli powder and goda masala and fry for 1 minute.
Pour in the hot water, add the jaggery and salt and mix. Boil and then simmer for 5 minutes until a red layer of oil floats on top. The gravy should be thin.
Just before eating, pour the hot gravy into bowls, top each with a handful of sev and the coriander leaves. Serve at once with chapathi, bhakri or pav, raw onion and lemon.
