------------

4. [optional] Cut drumstick to 2" length or whichever shape you get in frozen.

Procedure 1 :
------------------
1. Put the veggies in a thick bottomed vessel and cook it with very little water which is enough to cook the vegetables. Don't over cook it. It should be crunchy 90% cooked
2. Add salt, chilli powder, turmeric powder into it before cooking.
3. In a kadai, do the seasoning, in the order, oil, mustard seeds,curry leaves, chana dal, urad dal, onion.
4. Once onion turns light brown, put the cooked vegetables, leave it for a min.
5. Added grated coconut and coriander leaves and turn it to mix it well.
6. Leave it for a min. and switch it off.

Procedure 2 :

1. In a kadai, do the seasoning, in the order, oil, mustard seeds,curry leaves,chana dal, urad dal, onion.
2. Once onion turns light brown,add the cut vegetables, add salt, turmeric powder, sprinkle some water and cook it.
3. If water is not enough, add little more water. don't add more water and over cook. Keep it to the consistency which you like either crispy or smooth..but don't overcook.
4. Once the veggies are cooked well, add coriander leaves and grated coconut.
