For 4 servings
In a medium pot, combine the thin coconut milk, sliced onion, potato, carrot, green beans, green chilies, and julienned ginger. Add the turmeric powder and salt, and mix well. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the thick coconut milk. Let it warm through gently for 2-3 minutes. Do not let it come to a rolling boil, as this can cause the coconut milk to curdle.
While the sodhi is simmering, heat the coconut oil in a small pan (tadka pan) over medium-high heat. Add the mustard seeds and wait for them to splutter. Add the urad dal and fry until it turns light golden. Finally, add the curry leaves and stir for a few seconds until they become crisp.
Pour the hot tempering over the sodhi and mix gently. Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve immediately.
