Mix Veg Recipe | Restaurant Style Mixed Vegetable Curry

Mix Veg Curry is made by cooking a mixture of vegetables together in a traditional Indian onion-tomato gravy.The dish is characterized by multiple flavors due to many vegetables which also make it quite nutritious.

There is considerable flexibility in choosing the mix of vegetables. It can include seasonal vegetables and common vegetables like capsicum, cabbage, cauliflower, french beans, peas, carrots, potato, tomato, onion etc. I have first shallow fried the vegetables and then added them to a gravy. You can also cook all them all together for a healthier variation.
