April 1, 2016 by maria 2 Comments

Easy Vegetable Curry Recipe with step by step instructions. This recipe comes from Mumbai East Indian community and was shared by my sister in law. You could make this same curry with veggies or fish like golden anchovies, prawns etc.

Easy Vegetable Curry Recipe – Vegetable Curry with Coconut Recipe | Curries

We make this curry quite often at home sometimes with loads of veggies and sometimes with fish. It tastes equally great with or without fish. This vegetable curry goes with rice, chapati or pao.

The main ingredient for this curry is East Indian Bottle Masala which gives the taste, flavor and color to the curry. Later thick paste is made with coconut, spices and some more ingredients.

If you are unable to find bottle masala then just replace with 1 tbsp red chili powder, 1/4th tsp turmeric powder and 1 tsp of garam masala powder.

You get bottle masala easy at Mumbai or anyone who makes home and sell. I grab mine from my sis-in-law but would soon post the recipe as it’s traditional and has some secrets. The bottle masala enhances flavor of curries, veggies and even fries.

When you are in a hurry then this curry is apt for you. As it takes less time and goes well with rice or bread. Just have a side dish like salad, papad or pickle and your meal is ready.

 Let’s make step by step Easy vegetable curry:

1. Grind all the ingredients together to form a smooth paste. Add little water if required. Keep it aside.
