You will need : Vegetable of your choice - 1 cup (I used sweet potato) White pumpkin or Arbi (coloccasia) are favourites Curd - 1 1/2 cup sour Salt to taste Chana dal, urad dal, rice, tuvar dal - 1 1/2 tbsp together soak in water coconut grated - 1/2 cup fenugreek seeds - 1 tsp lightly roasted red chillies - 2 mustard seeds - 1 tsp curry leaves - 1 spring turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp Oi - 1 tbsp Add water to the curd and whisk well and bring to a watery consistency. Add turmeric and chopped vegetable either cooked or cook with curd. Grind coconut, fenugreek seeds and red chillies and dals well and add to the buttermilk. Bring everything to a boil and add salt to taste. Heat oil to a pan when hot add mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, red chilli and curry leaves. Add to the gravy. You can substitute red chillies and fenugreek seeds with cumin seeds, green chillies, ginger, garlic as per taste in any combination. I normally dont prefer to add garlic with this gravy and just tried it once.
