Cook the vegetables without adding salt to them. We can use any vegetables given in the list. Add the above made paste to the cooked vegetables. Add butter milk to it and allow it to boil for 5 or 10 minutes. Allow it to boil in low flame only. Switch off the stove and cool it for 5 minutes then add salt. If we add salt, when it is hot the butter milk will split. It doesn’t look and taste good. Again boil it for 5 minutes and add curry leaves. Add tadka to it.
