Mix Vegetable Curry (Quick & Healthy)

I always made veg curries of various types home as this way my hubby tend to eat veggies. So come up with my own variation of veg curries. This happens to be a regular vegetable curry made with bhuna masala. I have used home-made bhuna masala but you could use ready made too.

This recipe is made with basic ingredients found in your kitchen. I have used carrot, green peas, potatoes but you could use any veggies of your choice. Also for better flavor and taste I have made them with butter but you could use oil instead.

Addition of pav-bhaji masala always gives a great taste to your veggies, pulav’s or curries. You could also use tomato puree but I prefer chopped tomatoes for such curries. To give some more tang I have used yogurt for marinating the veggies.

Alternatively you could use a pan to make this but would take longer time to cook than veggies. The taste of this curry is little spicy, tangy and flavorful.

  2. In this earlier posted recipe, the vegetables were fried. But in the current recipe, the vegetables are not fried. The vegetables are cooked in their juices . This takes a little longer but the result is great. I often make this when i wanna have some thing comforting with chapatis.
