For the Tempering
Steam the mixed vegetables, taking care not to overcook, so that the colours are vibrant (takes about 5-7 minutes). In a heated pan, add mustard seeds. When they sputter, turn the heat off and add asafoetida, red chilli and turmeric powder and dry roast. Once the mixture is fragrant, turn the heat back on. Add curry leaves and the steamed vegetables, ginger-green chilli paste, salt and fresh coconut. Mix well. Take off from the heat. Serve hot.
Variation
Use only 1 vegetable or mixed veggies of your choice. They can also be grated instead of chopped.
