A foogath is any vegetable dish made with a sauce containing coconut milk and curry leaves. They are also, typically, vegetarian dishes based around a single main vegetable.
Ingredients:
500g French (fine) beans, topped and tailed and finely minced
1 large coconut
8 garlic cloves, minced
4 green chillies, minced
8 small onions, minced
3cm piece of fresh ginger, peeled
8 curry leaves
2 tbsp butter or ghee
1 tsp ground turmeric
Method:
Remove the flesh from the coconut, grate finely and set aside.
Mince 2 of the onions and the garlic and place in a pan with the French beans and 250ml water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture is almost dry.
Hat the oil in a pan, add the remaining onions and fry for about 5 minutes, or until browned then add the ginger, turmeric, chillies and curry leaves. Fry for a couple of minutes then add the bean mixture and stir-fry for 3 minutes before stirring in the grated coconut. Allow to heat through for about 3 minutes then turn into a dish and serve with either plain rice or khichiri.
