- Soak all the masala ingredients for 2 hours, except green chillies.
- Bring the water and salt to the boil in a pot. Add the green beans, potatoes, plantain and carrot to the water and return to the boil; cook until tender. Reduce heat to low and stir the yoghurt mixture into the vegetables; simmer the vegetables in the yogurt mixture for about 5 minutes, but do not allow to boil.
- Grind the soaked masala along with the green chillies. Add to curd and mix well.
- Heat the oil in a small frying pan. Fry the cumin seeds, mustard seeds, red chilli and caraway seeds in the hot oil until they sputter. Add the curry leaves to the mixture and fry together another 30 seconds. Stir the mixture into the vegetable mixture and serve.
- Simmer vegetables on low flame. Add the curd-masala mixture. Simmer for 5 more minutes. Do not allow the mixture to boil.
