Instructions
  1. Grate the coconut and pulse them adding some water. Strain the milk using strainer. This is first (thick) milk. Add some water to the extracted coconut and pulse them again for couple of seconds and strain the milk. This is second (thin) milk. Repeat this process and extract third milk as well.
  2. Pressure cook the dal for 1 whistle.
  3. Grind ginger and chilli in a blender to a fine paste and keep it aside.
  4. Chop all the vegetables and keep it ready.
  5. In a kadai add a tsp of oil and season it with fenugreek seeds.
  7. Add in onions, garlic and green chillies.
  9. When the onions turn golden brown add the second and third extracted coconut milk.
  11. Then add all the vegetables and bring them to boil. I used drumstick and carrots today. I added drumstick first as it takes lots of time to cook. After 10 minutes I added carrots.
  13. Add the cooked dal to the vegetables and again bring it to boil.
  15. Now add the ground mixture (ginger and chillies) along with salt.
  17. When the gravy becomes thick, add cumin and coriander leaves.
  19. When the mixture comes to boil for the last time add the first extracted coconut milk to it and immediately switch off the stove.
  21. You can sprinkle lemon juice after 10 minutes(optional).
