Check the veggies after a while and if this is done you can turn off the flame

In a mixer jar add freshly grated coconut, green chillies, curry leaves and cumin seeds

Now add the grinded coconut into the veggies

Mix it gently with the veggies and turn on the heat and keep it on a low flame
Add 4-5 tbsp of Curd and mix it gentle , check the seasoning and add some salt if required
