Mix Vegetable Poriyal

Instructions

1) Mix all the veggies and mung dhal in a bowl, sprinkle some salt and a couple tbsp of water. Microwave on high for about 7 minutes or so till done.

2) Heat oil in a pan and season with mustard, urad dhal, red chilli, curry leaves & asafoetida. Add in the veggies and saute for a few minutes.. till all the water (if any) evaporates.

3) Stir in the ground coconut-chilli-cumin paste and cook for a few more minutes before switching off the stove. Alternately, you can skip the grinding part and just increase the number of red chillies while seasoning and sprinkle in grated coconut towards the end. Both methods yield tasty results and is just a matter of preference.
