In a small amount of water, cook vegetables until almost done. Grind together the coconut, chili,and cumin seeds using just a little water to accomplish this. You should end up with a paste.

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

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