Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 2 medium Carrots
• 1 small head Cauliflower
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 100 grams Green beans
• 100 grams Pumpkin
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 10 leaves Curry leaves
• 2 small Green chilies
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Freshly grated coconut
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 2 cloves Garlic

Directions

Step 1

Peel the carrots and slice them lengthwise into thin sticks. Chop the cauliflower into small florets, and cut the zucchini into similar-sized sticks. Trim and cut the green beans, and dice the pumpkin into cubes.

Step 2

Heat coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped vegetables, stirring them well for about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add turmeric powder and salt to the vegetables, stirring until the spices are well mixed.

Step 4

Stir in the coconut milk and a little water if required, until the vegetables are almost submerged. Add the curry leaves and let it simmer on low heat, covered, for about 10 minutes or until the vegetables are just tender.

Step 5

Meanwhile, in a blender, combine grated coconut, cumin seeds, garlic cloves, and green chilies. Add a small amount of water to form a coarse paste.

Step 6

Once the vegetables are cooked, add the coconut paste to the pan. Mix well until combined, and cook for another 5 minutes.

Step 7

Adjust seasoning to taste, and simmer until the stew reaches your desired consistency.

Step 8

Serve the Paleo Aviyal hot, garnished with fresh curry leaves. Enjoy the rich flavors with cauliflower rice or as a stand-alone dish.
