Ingredients :-

Yam                               ½ cup

White pumpkin           ½ cup

Carrot                             ½ cup

Beans                              ½ cup

Sanke guard                  ½ cup

Raw banana                   ½ cup

Drumstick                      ½ cup

Potatoes                          1 (small )

Curry leaves                   a few

Coconut oil                    ¾ -1 tbsp

Thick curd                       ¾ - 1 cup ( to taste )

To grind to a coarse paste :-

Grated Coconut             ¾ -1 cup

Green chilly                   4-6 (to taste )

Method :-

Cut all veggies to lengthy pieces .

Cook them  say ½ way , with ½ cup water & salt.

Add the ground  paste & cook till raw smell fades away.

Make sure they are not over cooked.

Now as it hot ,wait for it to cool down.

When fully cooled add curd & mix it gently, making sure the veggies are not smashed or broken up.

Drizzle coconut oil .

Sprinkle  curry leaves on it.

Note :-

A little care should be taken where one should not over cook the veggies.While mixing too ,wherein the veggies don’t get smashed .It would be a good idea to just to just take the vessel and juggle the veggies .When you add curd make sure the veggies are in room temperature ,for it would curdle when curd is added while its hot.It would be a good idea to add raw green mango too ,to this dish although authentically its a protocol.But personal prefrences too plays a role while a dish is cooked.
