Indian Vegetables

Ingredients:

  • 1 lg Potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 lg Sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 c Green beans, whole
  • 1 c Carrot, peeled and sliced
  • 1 c Green peas, fresh or frozen
  • 1 c Tomato, diced
  • 1/2 ts Turmeric
  • 1 ts Salt
  • 1/2 c Coconut shreds, unsweetened
  • 3 Green chiles, 3-4
  • 2 tb Ghee
  • 1 Sprig karhi leaves, fresh
  • 1 c Yogurt, plain

Directions:

Par-boil the vegetables except the peas and tomatoes in 2 cups of water with the turmeric and salt. Add the left out vegetables towards the end of when the others are cooked. Grind the coconut, green chilies and yogurt in a blender to form a smooth paste (I use my hand held blender to mince the chilies and add them to the coconut and yogurt). Add the paste to the pot containing the vegetables. In a saute pan melt the ghee and sizzle the Kahri leaves for a minute or so. Add to the pot and simmer for a couple of minutes. Combine and serve.
