Cooking time (approx.):  minutes
Style: South Indian Vegetarian (Kerala)


4  tablespoons oil
4  whole green cardamoms
4  whole cloves
1" cinnamon stick(s)
2  green chilli(es) slit
2  teaspoon(s) ginger cut into strips (juliennes)
2  medium onion(s) sliced

2  cup(s) coconut milk (canned unsweetened coconut milk is available in Asian markets)

  1. Mix the oil with the green cardamoms, cloves, cinnamon, green chilli(es), ginger and sliced onions in a deep microwave-safe bowl. Microwave uncovered on high (100%) power for about 3  minutes or till the onions are transparent and soft.
  2. Add the mixed vegetables, curry leaves, salt and water. Microwave covered on 70% power for about 5  minutes (stirring mid-way) or till the vegetables are tender.

    TIPS:

  • This dish tastes best when it is made just before the meal time.
  • When the microwave cooking time for a step exceeds 2 minutes, it is highly recommended the contents be checked and stirred at regular intervals to avoid burning of food.
  • Standing time is a very important step as it completes the microwave cooking process of a dish. Ideally, allow the dish to stand for about 5 minutes before serving.

Serve immediately with: Rice and Coconut Pancakes (Appam) or Coconut Rice (Tengai Saadham)
