Peel the skin and cut the vegetables up into 2 and 1/2 inch long pieces. Boil the vegetables in two cups of water with two tablespoons of coconut oil and salt. Close the lid until vegetables are cooked on low flame (25 minutes). Occasionally mix the vegetables very gently. Then grind the coconut with aniseed (jeera) powder and turmeric into a smooth paste and mix with the veggies. After one minute switch the stove off. Mix in two tablespoons of yoghurt. If the dish is quite dry, add little more water with coconut paste. Ready to serve. Can be enjoyed with porridge.
