Sieve dal and keep it aside.
Fry grated coconut till it slightly changes its colour.
Grind fried coconut, garlic and red chili's into a fine powder.

Add salt, adjust to your taste.
Since we grounded everything we need to wait until the powder comes down to room temperature.
When it is hot , some times it may be lumpy, after you cool it completely , just mix it once with a fork or with your hand.
