Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a triple layer of paper towels, then set a wire cooling rack over the top. Set aside.
• For the tempering oil: Warm the ghee in a small skillet or tadka pan over medium heat. Drop a couple of mustard seeds into the ghee; if they sizzle immediately, then it's hot enough. Add the remaining mustard seeds and the green chile. Cook about 5 seconds, then carefully add the curry leaves (they will splutter!). Cook about 30 seconds, then pour into a small bowl and set aside to cool down.
• For the hush puppies: Whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and soda, turmeric and salt together in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg and lime zest together. Stir the wet ingredients and the now cooled-off tadka into the cornmeal mixture until just combined. Set aside to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, fill 10-inch cast-iron skillet with frying oil about 3/4-inch deep, or fill a deep-fryer. Preheat until it registers 375 degrees F.
• Drop little balls (about 1 tablespoon) of batter into the oil, being sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry, flipping often, until deep golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer the hush puppies to the prepared rack, then sprinkle with salt and lime juice and keep warm in oven.
• To serve, sprinkle with the cilantro and coconut.
