Ingredients:





     1 lg Potato, peeled and cubed


     1 lg Sweet potato, peeled and


          -cubed


     1 c  Green beans, whole


     1 c  Carrot, peeled and sliced


     1 c  Green peas, fresh or frozen


     1 c  Tomato, diced


   1/2 ts Turmeric


     1 ts Salt


   1/2 c  Coconut shreds, unsweetened


     3    Green chiles, 3-4


     2 tb Ghee


     1    Sprig karhi leaves, fresh


     1 c  Yogurt, plain






 Par-boil the vegetables except the peas and tomatoes in 2 cups of water


 with the turmeric and salt. Add the left out vegetables towards the end of


 when the others are cooked. Grind the coconut, green chilies and yogurt in


 a blender to form a smooth paste (I use my hand held blender to mince the


 chilies and add them to the coconut and yogurt). Add the paste to the pot


 containing the vegetables. In a saute pan melt the ghee and sizzle the


 Kahri leaves for a minute or so. Add to the pot and simmer for a couple of


 minutes. Combine and serve.
