  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

    Add mustard seeds and the oil they were cooked in as well as the curry leaves to the vegetables.

  5. 5

    Serve over rice. If you have them, toss some spicy banana chips (not sweet ones) on top.
