when is the best time to add freshly grated coconut in the curry making process? I add it at the tail end when the water is 90% gone and everything's starting to come together but feel something's missing to it. am I doing it wrong? does it need to cook more/less?

You are doing it right. You add it at the end, just before garnishing with coriander leaves.

XH's one and only cooking tip no matter what the problem is - add lemon in the end.

my tip that i have found handy at times for curries (not tried on cococut curries)... in the end take a little bit of dry kasoori methi and crush it over the curry, and turn off the stove in a few seconds.

not everyone who cooks is bittu. they have to also know photography and talk about tmb with other women unstoppably.

@ OP

unless its a gravy curry, right time to add coconut is towards the end when rest of the stuff is cooked. Coconut adds little bit of taste and aroma..maybe some texture. shouldn't be cooked too much. 
if you're making a gravy then add coconut couple of seconds before adding water.
wat were you cooking ?
