Ingredients

4 -5 cups mixed vegetables, cut 2-inches long and 1/2 inch wide
2 tablespoons vegetable oil or 2 tablespoons coconut oil
1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds
6 curry leaves, approximately
1 cup unsweetened grated frozen coconut
1 small hot green chili pepper
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups yogurt
1/2 teaspoon turmeric

Directions

1

In a small amount of water, cook vegetables until almost done.
2

Grind together the coconut, chili,and cumin seeds using just a little water to accomplish this. You should end up with a paste.
3

Add yogurt, tumeric and salt to the spice paste and mix well.
4

Turn heat on the vegetables to low and add the yogurt mix to the vegetables. A low heat keeps the yogurt from curdling. If it curdles, it's OK. You can still eat it. It just won't look as nice.
5

Heat the vegetable or coconut oil in a small pan. When hot add the mustard seeds. Cook until they pop.
6

Add mustard seeds and the oil they were cooked in as well as the curry leaves to the vegetables.
7

Serve over rice.

If you have them, toss some spicy banana chips (not sweet ones) on top.
