Mixed Vegetable Curry

Here we get fresh vegetables in the Indian stores on Thursdays. So normally we try to finish off every week's stock before that...but sometimes we fail and end up throwing way stuff :-( which makes me feel bad. The mixed vegetable curry is a savior on such situations. We can add any veggies you wish and can be prepared as a thick gravy and served along with rotis ,naan for dinner or make it dry and serve it along with rice for lunch or for serve it for both lunch and dinner LIKE ME !!!


I had used Carrots, Cauliflower, Potato, Peas for the curry. Other suggested vegetables would be Capsicum,Green Beans, Corn, Broccoli. Normally I add tomato sauce to this curry and reduce the amount of actual tomatoes. This gives a better taste and color.Try out !!!

I'm sending this to the Healing Foods - Onion event guest hosted by Priya Started by Siri and to Think Spice - Think Garam Masala event guest hosted by Sara started by Sunitha.
