Assorted vegetables cooked to perfection, added in smooth and scrumptious gravy to make a wholesome mix veg curry. Currys made with Indian recipes are very flavorful. And mix veg recipe has a blend of so many veggies. Cooking vegetables properly is crucial for this recipe. The beauty of this veggies recipe lies in the contrast of slightly crunchy mixed vegetables and silky gravy. Mix veg is generally ordered at the restaurants but with the correct recipe in hand, this can be prepared on your kitchen too. Mix veg can be served with tawa chapatis, parathas, etc.
If you are looking for a vegetarian dinner recipe this is a good option. Mix veg served with parathas makes for a good veggie meal. Here are the ingredients required for the mixed veg recipe:
Mixed Vegetables: This is very much customizable. I have used potatoes, carrot; french beans, peas, capsicum, cauliflower, etc. You can also use baby corn, pineapple, mushrooms, etc. It is important to cut the vegetables properly. Potatoes and carrot should be cubed. Separate the florets of cauliflower. Halve the big ones. French beans should be cut into 1-inch long pieces. Capsicum should be thickly sliced. You can also cut it into cubes. Further, it is important to cook each vegetable properly, as in the vegetables should be just cooked. Follow the recipe and do as explained.
Curry: For the curry, I have used the basic ingredients + cashews. Cashews add richness to the gravy. Likewise, heavy cream is also added.
How do you use assorted vegetable leftover in your fridge before ordering the fresh ones? I make pav bhaji, chowmein, mix veg, handvo, etc, not all… either of these 🙂
