  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      large         Potato -- peeled and cubed
   1      large         sweet potato -- peeled and cubed
   1      cup           green beans -- whole
   1      cup           carrot -- peeled and sliced
   1      cup           green peas -- fresh or frozen
   1      cup           tomato -- diced
     1/2  teaspoon      turmeric
   1      teaspoon      salt
     1/2  cup           coconut shreds -- unsweetened
   3                    green chiles -- 3-4
   2      tablespoons   Ghee
   1      sprig         karhi leaves -- fresh
   1      cup           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.
