Grate the onions tand slit the green chillies.
Prepare the coconut milk by blending together coconut pulp with water. Strain the coconut using a cloth or sieve/strainer. You can also use readymade coconut milk.

Heat the groundnut oil in a pan and add the slit green chillies. Give a stir and add the grated onion. Mix and fry on medium heat for around 5-6 mins till light brown in colour.
Now add the ginger garlic paste, give a mix and fry on low heat for 2 mins.
