Sodhi with Inji Puli (Coconut curry with Sweet and Sour ginger chutney )

Sodhi (coconut milk curry ) is a Srilankan /Malasian curry and is famous in South India . It’s accompanied with Inji Puli (ginger and tamarind chutney ) . I tried this combo for the first time , actually I was skeptical to make it but once we tasted it that’s a success . Both were a companions of each other .
