salt (to taste)

Steps

1
Heat the coconut oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat.

Remove from the heat and serve hot as a side dish with rice and curry.

Notes

This dish is a staple in Sri Lankan cuisine, often served with steamed rice and dhal curry. For extra flavor, you can add a tablespoon of Maldive fish flakes during the tempering stage.
