Have you tried Indian food? Are you interested in making a simple dish at home that is quick, easy and nutritious? This mix vegetable curry is the perfect Indian recipe to start with! If you don’t have all the vegetables at home or would like to create your own vegetable curry I invite you to check the vegetable classifications for vegetable replacement alternatives.
The vegetables will be steamed before mixing with the sauce; if you like your veggies crunchy be sure to remove them from the heat early before they become to soft. Remember, even if they are a little too crunchy they will cook a bit more in the tomato onion masala sauce.
After our sons left for college, my husband and I have started including more vegetarian dinners during the week. This vegetable curry is one that both my husband and I love and that we eat with basmati rice and make it a meal.
