Mix Veg Curry

Assorted vegetables cooked with tomatoes, spices and heavy cream makes a halwai style preparation that is spicy and absolutely toothsome and it is called mix veg curry. The best part about this recipe is that it calls for no onion or garlic. With some tomato puree in hand, this mix veg recipe becomes one of the simplest recipes. Itcan be prepared for a weekday meal and served with simple chapati or paratha. It tastes too good with some hot and crispy pooris too.

Ingredients for Mix Veg Curry

Assorted Vegetables and paneer: I have used cauliflower, peas, carrot; french beans, mushrooms and capsicum along with some paneer. You can use the vegetables of your choice or as per the availability. I often make mix veg curry to wind up the leftover veggies lying in the fridge.

Tomato Puree: I always have some homemade puree in the fridge. With the help of puree, the cooking time decreases considerably and the texture of gravy is great.

Spices: Regular red chili powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, dry fenugreek leaves and salt are the spices used for this recipe.

Heavy Cream: Malai to be particular has been used for the mix veg curry. You can use the store-bought heavy cream too although malai gives a much better texture to the dish.

How to make Mix Veg Curry?

This sabji is spicy, with perfectly cooked vegetables i.e. cooked al-Dante and absolutely delish and smooth gravy. In order to make perfect mix veg curry following points should be kept in mind:

  1. The vegetables should be cooked properly. I have used the steaming method to cook the vegetables. It helps to maintain the nutrients of the veggies. Further, it is very important to not overcook the veggies.
  2. Do not cut down the spices. This recipe doesn’t call for many ingredients. It is a “no onion no garlic” recipe not even ginger or green chilies have been used. Therefore enough spices should be added to make it flavorful.
  3. Adjust the consistency of the gravy. The dish is not runny nor is it too dry. Lipatwa is the consistency of mix veg curry.

Hi! I am CA Vini Mehta. A Chartered Accountant by profession, a food blogger by passion! First of all, I would like to thank you for stopping by at Viniscookbook, I hope you have a good time. Here, yo...u will find the recipes which have been tried, at times re-tried in my kitchen and relished on the dining table. I am mother of two kids and the wife of a person with a high and selective taste sense, so basically anything, before finding its place on the blog, has many levels to cross and clear. This journey started a couple of years back. Before that I was making the most usual kind of food. The only experiment used to be asking my mother how to make something new or different☺. Then, one day, I tried a recipe for butter cookies. And they did not get to go in the container as they were over before I could store them. That day I was introduced to the joy of experimenting with recipes. And I loved everything else that followed especially garnishing and photographing food. I am still not well versed with the photography dos and don’ts but I love to experiment and learn, be it photography or cooking. Hope you too enjoy this journey as much as I do☺! Stay healthy, stay tuned!.
