Boil the vegetables and green chillies in enough water.

Soak poha for a few minutes and grind with coconut and curd.

Grind to a smooth consistency.

Add this mixture to the vegetables. Add more curds or water according to the consistency you prefer. Mix well and bring to a boil on a slow flame. (Switch off immediately when it comes to a boil).  Keep aside.

Heat oil and add mustard seeds. When they start crackling, add methi seeds, red chillies and fry till it turns brown. Add curry leaves now and switch off the gas.

Pour this on the Kajipu/Kuzhambu.
