Method:


Step I:

Take a pan add 1/2 tsp of coconut oil and keep in medium low flame .Once its hot add coconut and pepper and roast it till its light brown in color.Keep stirring don't go away or coconut will burn .Then add red chillies once they turn color to dark red,switch off flame and remove pan from stove and add coriander pd and keep stirring for 5 min with the residual heat in pan till aroma comes out and transfer the content to a plate.Dont leave it in pan as the heat of pan may burn the spices.Now let it cool.
Once they are cooled down add this to a blender and grind it to a smooth paste by adding some water and keep this aside.

Step II:

Take a big pan and add very thinly chopped Bacon and saute it for 10 min or so ,till all bacon is crispy and most of the oil comes out of it.
Strain the bacon and drain out oil and just keep the crisp bacon pieces.
