Ingredients

  • 1 cup mixed low FODMAP vegetables (such as carrots, green beans, zucchini, bell peppers, eggplant)
  • ½ cup grated coconut
  • ½ cup lactose-free yogurt optional
  • ¼ tsp turmeric powder
  • ¼ tsp cumin seeds
  • ¼ tsp mustard seeds
  • 2-3 green chilies chopped (or substitute with chili flakes)
  • 2-3 sprigs of curry leaves
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Cut the low FODMAP vegetables into long thin strips or pieces.
  • Boil the vegetables with salt and turmeric powder until they are cooked but still firm. Drain the water and keep the vegetables aside.
  • Grind the grated coconut, cumin seeds, and green chilies (or chili flakes/hot sauce) together to a fine paste.
  • Heat coconut oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. When they start to splutter, add curry leaves and sauté for a few seconds.
  • Add the boiled low FODMAP vegetables to the pan and mix well.
  • Add the ground coconut paste and mix again. Cook for 2-3 minutes on low heat.
  • If using (lactose-free) yogurt, beat it well and add it to the pan. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Adjust the seasoning and serve hot with low FODMAP rice or roti.
