Indian vegetable curry. This classic vegetable dish features plenty of flavor - spices, cream, and lots of veggie goodness. Easy and absolutely delicious meat-free option for your vegetarian dinner!
I’ll admit that there aren’t many vegetarian dishes that can lure me into loving vegetables. Often, vegetables take a step back when it comes to creating amazing delicious dishes that are as good as their meaty counterparts. Vegetables are, in fact, a treasure trove of nutrients, and honestly, I love adding them to weekly dinner menu. And here’s a favorite from my recipe repertoire.
This Indian vegetable curry also known as mixed vegetable curry is basically a combination of vibrant and nutritious veggies in a delicious spiced sauce. While tomatoes and spices make the base of this sauce, you can customize this dish with your favorite veggies.
Indian Vegetable Curry Recipe
Before making the curry, fry the vegetables in a little oil to achieve a crisp texture. The vegetables in this recipe are totally customizable. A combination of potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, cauliflower and green beans is the traditional way to go, but you can easily customize with your favorites.
Now you can make the curry. Fry some cumin seeds before adding the onions. When the onions turn brown, add garlic and ginger. Fry for a few seconds and then add tomatoes. In this recipe, you’ll need fresh tomatoes ground to a smooth purée.
Next, add in the spices. You’ll need the classic Indian spices like ground turmeric, ground coriander and red chili powder. Give this mixture a quick stir fry. Now, add the fried veggies. Spice up with a touch of garam masala.
