Vegetable Curry Recipe (07.03.19)

Make a vagaar

1/2 onion
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
few cloves
few peppercorns
3 elachi pods
1 & 1/2 teaspoon jeeru
1 tablespoon ground green chillie/garlic masala
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 & 1/2 teaspoon Dhana jeeru
dash of balsamic vinegar
salt to taste
handful of limri leaves.

Cook a bit, add in your mix of vegebles

1 brinjal cut up
handful of green beans
handful of papri
6 -8 baby onions
6-8 baby potatoes
2 med carrots cut up
1/2 green pepper in large slices
1/2 red pepper in large slices
1 cup sliced button mushrooms
half cup yoghurt
grate in about 1/2 tomato to make it saucy.

Don’t mix too much when cooking to avoid veggies breaking. I first add in veggies that take longer to cook & gradually add in the rest. When curry is almost done, sprinkle over 6-8 Rosa tomatoes & steam for about 10 minutes. Also, a variation is to add patha slices & steam with Rosa tomatoes Serve with piping hot roti’s & assorted achaars
