Ingredients:
potato - 1
pumpkin - 1/2 cup
white pumpkin - 1/2 cup - will find it in asian/indian stores
cayote - 1/2 cup - optional - will find it in asian/indian stores
carrot - 1/2 cup
green beans - 1/2 cup
salt
1/2 cup grated coconut
1/4 cup yoghurt
2-3 green chillies
curry leaf a sprig
Directions:
1. Cut all the vegetables into matchsticks (1/2 thick and 1.5 long).
2. Take a pan and add all the vegetables and curry leaf. Make sure to add the pumpkin last and only after the other vegetables are fairly tender. Pumpkin cooks very fast and it may turn mushy. Add water to the pan so that it is 1/2 above the vegetables. Add a tsp of salt and cook till all the vegetables are tender.
3. In a blender make a paste of coconut and green chillies try not to add too much water. Add it to the vegetable and gently mix it making sure not to break the vegetables. Let the mix come to a boil. Take yoghurt in a bowl and beat it nicely. Set the gas on low and once the boiling stops slowly add the yoghurt to the vegetable mixture. Keep stirring making sure the yoghurt doesn't cuddle. Cook on low for 5 mins. Serve it hot with rice.
