An amazingly tasty dish prepared with simplest vegetables and with just a touch of exotic. Preparation and cooking time can be substantially reduced by using frozen peas and spinach and pre-washed and pre-cut mushroom. And none of these compromise the flavor is any way. What gives this dish its creamy texture is the addition of coconut and cashews. It is also considerably lower in calories without the heavy cream that is typically use in such dishes.
Below are the cooking instructions. I have not given any measurements because you can really mix and match the vegetables and the condiments in any way you prefer:

Dessicated coconut or coconut flakes, 1-2 tablespoon

2. Heat oil in a skillet. Add cumin and roast till it turns gold brown.
3. Add the mushrooms and cook till they turn soft.
4. Add the potatoes and sautee till they turn brown.
