Remove the stiff outer layers of lemongrass and chop the soft inner part.

In a mixer jar, add lemongrass, coriander stalks, garlic, ginger, green chilies, shallots, coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, salt, and about 1/3 cup of water; grind to a fine paste.

Heat 2 1/2 to 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil or sesame oil, temper with cumin seeds, a bay leaf, and a dry red chili.

Add the prepared paste to the oil, lower the heat, and cook for a couple of minutes until the oil floats on top.

Wash the mixer jar with a bit of water and pour it in; cook down the water and add curry leaves, cooking for a minute.

Add 2 teaspoons of Besan (gram flour) and keep the heat low, cooking for a few minutes until it gathers together.

Add 1 1/2 cups of water, mix well to avoid lumps, and bring to a boil; season with salt and light soy sauce.

Add about half a cup of chopped carrots and 1/3 to 1/2 cup of beans; bring to a boil, cover, and cook for a minute.

Add chopped baby corn and a bit more water (1 1/2 cups), boil, and add half a teaspoon of sugar (optional).

Add a handful of boiled peas and cook for another minute.

Add 1 1/2 cups of coconut milk, mix, and let it come to a boil on low heat.

Fry boiled noodles until crispy and golden, along with chopped garlic and sliced red onion until golden brown.

In a bowl, place a nest of fried noodles, pour the soup over, and garnish with fried onion, fried garlic, peanuts, spring onions, coriander, and chili flakes; serve hot with lime.
