Heat a kadai, and add 1 tsp of oil. Once hot, crackle the mustard seeds. Now add curry leaves, sliced onions, chilly, crushed garlic. Let it get sauted for half a minute. Then add the chopped vegetables along with salt and grated coconut. Mix well, sprinkle some water and close the lid. Stir every now and then, to ensure that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the kadai. Sprinkle more water if required. Care should be taken not to add more water, you shouldn't be using more than 1/4 cups of water. Once the veggies are almost cooked, open the lid and cook for some more time to remove extra water content. Serve with hot rice.
