Yield Makes 6 servings (as part of a large meal)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 medium boiling potatoes, peeled and cut into 2- by 1/4-inch sticks (about 2 cups)
2 medium carrots, cut into 2- by 1/4-inch sticks (about 2 cups)
1 small fresh green chile, such as serrano, Thai, or jalapeƱo, slit lengthwise with stem end intact
1/8 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 3/4 cups water, divided
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 medium zucchini, peeled and cut into 2- by 1/4-inch sticks (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 cup grated dried unsweetened coconut
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup plain yogurt (not Greek-style)
15 to 20 fresh curry leaves (optional)
1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring potatoes, carrots, chile, red pepper flakes, turmeric, 1 cup water, and salt to a boil in a 3- to 4-quart heavy pot, then simmer briskly, uncovered, until vegetables are almost tender, about 5 minutes. Add zucchini and peas and simmer 1 minute more.
  • Meanwhile, blend coconut, cumin, cayenne, and remaining 3/4 cup water in a blender or food processor to a medium-fine paste.
  • Add coconut mixture to vegetable mixture along with yogurt. Simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and flavors have blended, 12 to 15 minutes. If mixture becomes too thick to simmer, add more water.
  • Serve sprinkled with curry leaves and drizzled with coconut oil, if desired.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually serve it with rice or quinoa, and it's also great as a side dish with grilled chicken or fish.

Not bad, but I think it needs a bit more spice. I'll try adding some chili peppers next time.
