Mixed vegetable curry for aapam / idiyappam

Think of Kerala cuisine and I am sure 2 things immediately pop in your head - spices and coconut. Here instead of adding whole spices, I am cheating and using Garam masala!

Boiled vegetables :

Potato -3, medium

Carrot - 1, medium

Peas - 1 cup

Onion - 1 large, cut into long strips and then cut into 3

Ginger - 2 inch slice, julienned

Garlic - 1 clove, chopped

Green chilli - 2 slit

Curry leaf - 10

Chilli powder - 1 tsp

Salt

Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp

Garam masala - 1 tsp

Tomato - 2, chopped fine

Coconut milk - 1 cup

Oil - 2 tbsp

Mustard - 1 tsp

Coriander leaf - 2 tbsp

Heat the oil and pop the mustard seeds.

Next saute the onion, ginger, garlic and green chillies till onions start to brown.

Now add all the powders.

After a minute add the tomatoes and cook covered till it becomes pulpy.

Now add the boiled vegetables and cook for a further 2 minutes.

Be careful that the curry does not burn.

Now add the coconut milk and coriander leaf. Mix well.

Give it just a boil and turn off flame.

Serve hot with Aapam or Idiyappam.
