One of the best and obvious things about Mixed vegetable curry is that you can have all the vegetables at one go! Make use of the seasonal vegetables and prepare this wonderful healthy dish filled with goodness. Do not limit yourself to the same old traditional veggies and experiment every time you prepare this mixed vegetable curry. Here I have included lauki(bottle gourd) and brinjal too. You can omit as per your preference.
Onion - 2
Tomato puree - 1 cup
Ginger - garlic paste - 1tbsp
Green chillies - 2
Vegetables of your choice
Carrot - 1 cup cut lengthwise
Beans - 1 cup cut lengthwise
Potato - 2
Cauliflower - few florets
Capsicum - 1 cup chopped
Peas - 1/2 a cup
Chopped Coriander
Cloves, cinnamon
Turmeric powder
Coriander powder - 1tbsp
Red chilli powder - 1/2 tbsp (optional if green chillies are very hot)
Garam masala - 1 tbsp
Yoghurt - half cup
Salt as per taste
Procedure:
1. Put all the veggies in a pressure cooker and give 1 whistle.( we do not want the vegetables to mash up. You can switch off just before the whistle also)
2. Heat oil in a pan,add cumin seeds, bay leaf, cloves, cinnamon.
3. When they start spluttering add green chillies, onion and ginger garlic paste. Mix well and allow them to cook.
4. Now add tomato puree, mix well. Add the dry powders - turmeric, dhania powder, red chillie powder, garam masala, salt. Allow them to cook until the raw smell goes and oil starts leaving the mixture.
5. Add the semi cooked vegetables to the gravy and give a nice mix so that all the masalas blend with the veggies.
6. Add 1 cup water. Use the same water used for cooking vegetables. Allow it to boil, adjust the seasoning to a proper taste. It shouldn't take much time as the vegetables are already done.
7. As the gravy thickens and before you switch it off add the whisked curd/yoghurt to the mixture and mix.
8. Garnish chopped coriander and serve hot with roti/phulka/rice.
Note:if you want the dry version of this curry, you can directly cook the vegetables and add less water in step no 6.
