Wash and cut Kovakai into thin strips or rounds.  Heat oil and fry the red chillies first then add ulatha parapu and fry till its golden brown, now add the kovakai and fry till it becomes soft (do not add water). Add needed salt. Once the kovakai becomes tender, switch off the flame.  Add grated coconut, coriander leaves and saute in the heat of the pan itself.
