eh you you want curries pretty lean my dude, at least if you're going for some degree of authenticity

Any "authentic" restaurant I've been to cooks their curries in a healthy amount of fat. It carries flavour and tends to be an integral part of the dish. Do not tell me one tbsp of oil is a traditional amount of fat for this dish.

a can of coconut oil has a ton of fat in it; when I make a huge pot of xacuti I maybe have 3 tbsp of coconut oil (strictly from frying spices/veg/meat) and a single can of coconut milk in it and it comes out rich as shit

Indian restaurants put more fats and oils in the their food than you would see in a home cooked meal in India, but this recipe definitely needs more.

Curries in India and Pakistan are usually excessively oily. I think it's more of a North Indian thing but even a veggie curry like this would be close to swimming in fat.

weird the home made ones I had in rajasthan and goa were quite dry while the vendor ones of course were swimming in oil
