A picture and an interesting question posted on the GNPC Facebook page have grabbed the attention of foodies. The photograph of boiling chicken curry with shards of coconut shells in it has already become the talk of the town.

Culinary experts share a tip that adding a few shards of coconut shell would help cook the meat pretty quickly. This method is followed especially while cooking beef and locally bred chicken at homes.

Adding shells of relatively fresher coconuts makes the beef extremely delicious and tender especially if it is cooked in huge amounts. Coconut shells could be added even if the dish is too salty. The shell helps reduce the saltiness of the dish to a certain extent.

Note: Do not forget to scoop out the coconut shells before serving the dish.
