Cook until the dates are well cooked and mashed.          Meanwhile grind the coconut, green chilli, cumin seeds and yoghurt. You can add 1 Tbsp of yoghurt at first and then grind coarsely so that everything gets mixed, then add the remaining yoghurt and grind into a smooth paste.(If you add all of the yoghurt initially, there are chances of the coconut not get grinded properly). You can add more yoghurt if you don't prefer a thick gravy. Pour this into the cooked dates and mix well.Let this come to a boil. Cook for 2-3 minutes and then remove from heat.Sprinkle the roasted fenugreek powder and a few curry leaves on the curry and keep aside. To season, heat 1 Tbsp coconut oil in a pan. Add the mustard and once the mustard starts to crackle, add the  curry leaves. Pour this seasoning over the curry and mix well.Serve hot with rice drizzled with a little ghee on top and a pappad.
