Continue to cook the onions until they become transparent before adding in the ginger and garlic paste. Cook the mixture for another minute before adding in the cubed vegetables and mixing well.
  • Continue to cook the vegetables, stirring frequently, for another two minutes before adding in the thin coconut milk and bringing to a simmer. Allow the mixture to simmer for 10 minutes before adding in the salt and thick coconut milk and allowing to simmer for another 5-7 minutes. Then remove the pan from heat and add the curry leaves. Serve hot with appam and enjoy!
