Ingredients

FOR THE GRAVY YOU NEED

  • Coriander-mint chutney made with ginger, garlic and green chillies
  • Pulp of one ripe mango
  • Blend the two together.
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 2 cups fresh coconut milk or 1 tetra pack of store-bought coconut milk
  • Turmeric
  • 3 fresh basil leaves
  • 1 leaf of lemon tree if available
  • 3-4 lemon grass

Preparation

Saute the onions in little bit of water and when they turn translucent add the green paste with mango. Add the turmeric, basil, lemon tree leaf and lemongrass. Add a quarter cup of the coconut milk and let it simmer for a few minutes. Add the raw vegetables and stir it around a bit.

  • Add in the rest of the coconut milk and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Put in the steamed vegetables and let it come to one boil.
  • If you use the ready made coconut milk you will need to add water since it is much more thicker.
  • Add in some salt and pepper and serve hot with brown rice.
  • The mango adds a sweetness and gives it a nicer colour.
