A simple South Indian dish, with starchy vegetables.
Ingredients;
1-2 parsnips
1-2 carrots
1 medium sweet potato
4-5 baby courgettes/zucchini
oil for frying
1/2 cup freshly grated coconut
1 tbsp black mustard seeds
2-3 Thai green chiles
1 tsp turmeric powder
Salt to taste
Lemon or lime juice
Method:

1. Cut the vegetables into bite-size pieces: circles, squares, half-moons, whatever looks good on the plate.
2. Par-boil all the veg, one by one. That´s because vegetables cook at different speeds. Set the vegetables aside and save the cooking water.
3. Heat the oil in a large pan . Fry the coconut gently until it begins to brown.
4. Add the mustard seeds and chiles and cook until the mustard seeds begin to pop - about 1 minute.
5. Now add the turmeric, stir for 30 seconds, and stir to mix well with the coconut.
6. Add all the vegetables and some of the cooking water, stir for a minute or two and serve.

It sounds delicious but you missed the boat for the Recipe challenge. It closed at midday UK time. Sorry!

Yep. Made it for a dinner party last night, but it was 1am before we finished so no time to post. I tagged it, but then realised it was too late.
