Mixed Vegetable kootu

I had to finish up cleaning my refrigerator, so I gathered all the vegetables left in small quantities and made this tasty kootu.

INgredients

Leftovers of :

Beans
Butternut squash
Zucchini Squash
Carrots

Cocounut powder - 1/4 cup
Red Chillies - 3
Coconut Milk - 1/4 cup
Cumin seeds - 1 Tbspn
Salt
Oil
Mustard seeds


1. In a pan or the pressure cooker, put all the vegetables and cover with little water and cook till the vegetables are tender.
2. Grind the coconut powder, red chillies and cumin seeds to a coarse paste.
3. Once the vegetables are cooked, add the ground paste, salt and boil for a minute.
4. Finally , reduce the flame to low and add coconut milk and mix well and boil for another minute.
5. In a sepate pan, add some oil, mustard seeds and curry leaves. When the mustard seeds splutter, add it all to the vegetables and enjoy.

I had about 1 1/2 cups of leftover veggies, so I used these proportions. You can modify to taste as you desire.
