If u r bored of the same styled panner gravy, definitely give this a shot it's more of a South Indian vibe and definitely a hit but I kinda feel that the coconut flavour is not comprehending the panner flavour a little bit, but then the peanut along with the coconut is awesome no cap. Taste : 7.5/10
