Mixed Vegetable Curry

Chapattis or rotis served with dhal and a dry curry makes a filling meal. Not many of the traditional south Indian curries go well with chapattis. This curry makes a great combo with pulka or chapattis. Moreover, this recipe would come in handy when you have little quantities of several vegetables left and you can churn out a quick curry. Give it a try.

Ingredients: (serves four)

Mixed vegetables – 4 teacups or 800ml measure*

Onion – 1 no, chopped finely

Turmeric powder – ¼ teaspoon

Coriander powder – 2 teaspoons

Cumin powder – ¾ teaspoon

Everest sabzi masala – 1 teaspoon

Mustard seeds – 1 teaspoon

Cumin seeds – ½ teaspoon

*You may use French beans, carrots, potatoes, cauliflower, green peas and even plantain. Separate the cauliflower florets. Shell the green peas. Cut the other vegetables into medium sized cubes.
