Recipe makes for 4-6 Servings

1 1/4 cups water

4 large fresh green chilies, quartered lengthwise

18 fresh curry leaves

1/2 tsp ground turmeric

1 large potato, cut into 2-inch sticks

1 large carrot, cut into 2-inch sticks

1 baby eggplant, cut into 2-inch sticks

1 large zucchini, cut into 2-inch sticks

SPICED YOGURT:

1/2 cup plain whole-milk yogurt

1/2 tsp ground coriander

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

salt to taste


Directions:

In a large saucepan, combine water, chilies, curry leaves and turmeric and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Add potato, carrot, onion, eggplant, zucchini and beans and mix well. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are just tender, about 15 minutes. 

While vegetables cook, make spiced yogurt. In a bowl combine yogurt, coriander, cumin, pepper and salt and mix well.


Drain all but about 1 1/2 tbsp liquid from vegetables. Add spiced yogurt and mix gently over very low heat until combines. Do not overheat or yogurt may separate. Serve hot.
