Vegetables in spicy coconut gravy


This is one of my favourite dish which goes good with dosa, idly, idiyappam, rotis and rice.  This dish taste like a nice mix of spicy flavours tempered by the coconut added to the masala, the thick gravy a combination of the coconut paste as well as the boiled potatoes adding their own starchiness to it. The other vegetables like beans, carrot, cauliflower or peas bring out the the rest.  Perfect way of adding veggies to our everyday menu.
