Hi, the amount of coconut is not clear in the recipe-the units are missing. is it 1/2 TBS?
otherwise excellent stuff!

It seems like all the flavours are competing with one another - andasafoetida is an aquired taste. I will persevere and eat it because I love beetroot, but I don't think i will make it again, sorry!
