Dry coconut (copra) and garlic powder can be used in any vegetable stir fry (poriyal in tamil and in telugu vipudu). It adds additional flavour to the vegetables with garlic and dry coconut (copra). It can be kept in fridge for 1week. As salt is added in the mixture, so need to be careful when adding salt to the vegetables. Dry coconut (copra) and garlic coarse powder is used more in my grandmas house and other houses in Anantapur and other districts (Rayalaseema region) in Andhra Pradesh .
