Ingredients




2 cups of any vegetables of your choice, cut into roughly 1 inch thick fingers
1 cup coconut cream or thick coconut milk
1 green chilli
1 inch piece of ginger
4 cloves of garlic
1/2 inch A piece of lemon grass (optional) 
Few peppercorns
1 length star anise& 1 of cinnamon
1/4 cup beaten yogurt – better if its a bit sour
Salt to taste

Preparation

1 Grind together the ginger, garlic, lemon grass (if you like the taste of lemon grass, otherwise skip this), peppercorns & chilli to a fine paste. 2 In a heavy bottomed pan, boil 2 cups of water with the star anise & cinnamon. When the water bubbles over, add in the coconut cream and the ground paste from step 1. Let this bubble away for a minute before adding the vegetables. 3 Let the stew bubble away till the vegetables are cooked through but are still firm to the tooth – not mushy! 4 When the vegetables are cooked, add a bit of salt, then quickly stir in the beaten curd and mix it into the stew. Add salt to taste. 5 Serve hot with a side of hot steamy rice.
