3. 3Add 1 small chopped curry leaf and sauté for 10 seconds until fragrant.
4. 4Add 1 cup of grated raw coconut and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes until the oil starts to separate.
5. 5Add 1 cup of chopped vegetables: green beans, carrots, drumstick, pumpkin, and snake gourd (ensure no onion, garlic, ginger, potato, or root vegetables).
