After that, heat the vegetable oil using a cooking pot, then add the ground spices, stir-fry the spices until cooked. After the seasoning is cooked and smells good, then add the grated coconut, stir-fry until cooked. Saute until completely dry so that the food does not go stale and lasts a long time.
Next, put the vegetables into the cooking pot, stir the food until evenly distributed, stir the food continuously until the spices and grated coconut seep into the vegetables. Do this process until it is finished, if it is finished then serve the food in a food container and serve it on the dining table to eat. Then the food processing process is complete.
