Directions:
Wash and clean the conch in water with 1tbsp of lime juice added. Cut each conch in two
and wash again. Blend the chadon beni, hot pepper, and 5 cloves of garlic and set aside.

Drain the water from the conch and add salt, 1 tbsp Curry, 1 tbsp lime juice and 3tbsp of the green seasoning mixture. Mix well and marinate for at least 3 hours.

Note: The longer it marinates the better the seasoning penetrates into the meat. If you could, let it marinate overnight.

In a cup, add the geera powder, amchar masala powder, turmeric powder and the remaining 3 tbsp of curry powder. Add 5 tbsp water and mix well.

Heat the oil; add the remaining 3 cloves of garlic (chopped) and add the curry mixture.
When the mixture looks sticky add the conchs. Let cook for a while until it has sticky appearance. Add the coconut milk and pressure cook for about 35 to 40 minutes.
