(Vegetarians: please see below for how to make a vegetarian version of this dish).
I was amazed to find how vegetables like raw banana, red pumpkin and white radish can taste so good in coconut milk.
Well I had some of these leftover fresh vegetables which I did not know what to do. I thought I will just saute them together and serve. Then as I began sauteing them, I thought of the Kaffir lime leaves in my fridge. I immediately took leaves out, cut them into strips, julienned some fresh ginger and put a tsp of garlic powder with the vegetables. Then I poured a little coconut milk, salt, one small green chilli chopped, and frozen shrimps. Then I covered it and let it simmer until the vegetables were tender and the sauce thickened.
I served it with sprinkled green onion and cilantro on cooked Basmati rice. I was surprised, it tasted really good!!!
Vegetarians - you can omit the shrimps it will taste equally good! You can use any leftover uncooked veg.
Tip: if you do not have the lime leaves you can grate the outer green layer of a green lime, making sure the white layer is not scraped. The white layer of the lime will give a bitter taste.
