Notes for Sorak Curry:
If there is no dry kashmiri chillies then use any dry red chilli which gives deep red colour and isn’t spicy.
If kokum isn’t available then replace with 1 tbsp tamarind pulp.
Also if fresh grated coconut isn’t available. Soak desiccated coconut in hot water and grind them into paste.
