  1. Take all the vegetables and blanch them well in enough water. Just for 2 to 3 minutes. Everything has to be al-dente kind. Leave them aside.
  2. Take onions, fresh red chillies, ginger, garlic, galangal, and lemon grass and grind it to a paste with just little bit of water.
  3. On the other side, heat up a wok in medium heat and add oil to it. Take the paste that we have already prepared and add it to the oil and saute for few seconds, till it releases flavors. Do not burn it. Keep the heat low.
  4. Now, add the coconut milk and use a little water if needed. And, add the curry powder, turmeric powder, coriander, cumin, and let it simmer for few minutes.

I suspect some steps of this recipe were miswritten or some missing (or extra) ingredients. I'm no master chef, but over the years I've mastered many recipes from Thailand/Maylasia region. Kari Sayur has always been one of my favorite meals when visiting and this came out a completely different dish. I recommend passing on this recipe and trying some of the others out there (that look quite different for same dish).

This looks amazing -- simple and complex at the same time! Saving now, making later...
