Notes
- Cook hard vegetables in a pressure cooker to cook faster. Cook soft ones in a pan so that they can hold their shape.
- If you don't have a pressure cooker, cook the vegetables in a pan. Start with the hard ones, and once they are half done, add the soft vegetables and cook them together.
- No teppal? Add a tempering of 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds, 1 sprig of curry leaves & a pinch of hing (asafoetida).
- You can add garam masala to the coconut masala for extra flavour.
- Cut veggies into bigger pieces so they can hold their shape in khatkhate curry.
