Heat the coconut oil in a heavy-bottomed pan or kadai over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the smashed garlic cloves and the broken dried red chilies. Sauté for about 45-60 seconds until the garlic becomes fragrant and turns a pale golden brown. Be careful not to burn it.
Add the sliced tendli to the pan. Sprinkle the turmeric powder and salt over them. Stir everything together for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the tendli pieces are well-coated with the oil and spices.
Reduce the heat to low-medium, cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid, and let the tendli cook for 12-15 minutes. The tendli will release its own moisture and cook in the steam. Stir every 4-5 minutes to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
After 15 minutes, check if the tendli is tender by piercing it with a fork. It should be cooked through but still have a slight bite. If it's cooked, remove the lid, increase the heat to medium, and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes to evaporate any remaining moisture and lightly brown the tendli.
Turn off the heat. If using, garnish with fresh grated coconut and give it a final mix. Serve the Tendli Talasani hot as a side dish with Goan fish curry, dal, and steamed rice.
