Mixed Vegetable Curry

I never knew making a mixed vegetable curry was so easy...the other day all the vegetables in the fridge were over except for a frozen mixed vegetable packet in the freezer and I was in a daze of what to cook that goes well with rotis for dinner....

As usual i started on a quest on the net in the hope of finding something healthy n easy...N there i was on http://www.manjulaskitchen.com

I found manjulas recipe for navaratan kurma...but in the start i was like why even have a look at the recipe....because i knew that Navaratan kurma has cream n cashew...But again i thought why not just have a look at it.....

Thanks to manjula ji....she made it without any onions n cream...she instead used milk n cornflour to get the gravy.

Apart from mine and amma's recipes...just wanted to blog about the various recipes i try from other blogs....so that acts a reference for me as well.

1 1/2 cups mixed vegetables(carrot,beans,cauliflower,peas,potato)

1/2" ginger grated

Next add the dissolved masala mixture into the pan n mix.

Immediately add the parboiled vegetables and let the vegetables coat with the masala's.Add some salt.

Next add the milk and also cornflour n milk mixture n mix.

U will notice that the gravy starts to thicken then add the cilantro leaves/kasuri methi.

Remove and serve with roti's.

Note:I always keep a packet of frozen mixed veggies in my fridge so that it comes handy in times like this...u can either make a quick curry,veg cutlets,pav bhajji with the mix veggie packet.

This curry is an easy recipe for bachelors or for people who are very tired after the days work n dont want to stress out in the kitchen.
