Here is a humble attempt to create the vegetarian twin of the highly popular Roganjosh (mutton simmered with several spices). Believe me friends, it was delicious and is really a great sidedish for chapathis and flavored rice plates.  I am sure, all my vegetarian readers will be delighted to see this post and hope you all will try this and enjoy!!!
