Ingredients

1 big Carrot cubed
1 big Potato cubed
1/4 - 1/2 cup Green Peas I used frozen peas
1 big Onion sliced finely
4-5 Green chilly
1 tbsp each Crushed Ginger & garlic
1/2 tsp Whole black pepper
1 piece Cinnamon
3 Cloves
3 Cardamom
1.5 cups Thin coconut milk
1/2 - 3/4 cup Thick coconut milk
Curry leaves
Salt
Coconut oil

Instructions

Heat oil in a deep bottom pan & splutter the crushed spices. Add the cubed vegetables & combine well.
Add the onion, ginger & garlic, curry leaves & green chilly and saute for a few minutes till the onion becomes soft/transparent. Dont make the onions brown.
Add thin coconut milk & salt, bring to boil, reduce heat; simmer and cook till vegetables are tender, it will take 10 mins approx.
Add thick coconut milk and cook for 5 more minutes & remove from fire.
Garnish with curry leaves fried in coconut oil or ghee.

Notes

If you want to make the gravy very thick, add 1 tbsp of cashew paste. To make cashew paste, soak cashews (around6,7) in hot water for 5-10 mins. Grind it into a smooth paste. Mix the cashew paste with thick coconut milk & add to the curry. It increases the taste and also gives a thick gravy.
