    I served this with pan-roasted pork tenderloin and black beans.

    I did NOT like this at first, the lime and coconut milk combined seemed almost rancid. But I gave it a shake and put it in the fridge and by dinner time the clouds parted and the angels sang. Since then I’ve been enjoying it on both the suugo Suqaar and the chicken stew, as well as the leftover fried tuna steaks, roasted cauliflower, scrambled eggs, and even an onion and chile uthappam. So good!
