Mixed Veg Curry With Spinach


Mixed Veg Curry With Spinach


Mixed vegetable curry is an North Indian style of cooking. In South India we call them Kalagalupu kura and those curries will be mostly good with plain rice. I love making North Indian style mixed vegetable curry as a side for chapati. I feel like they go very well with Indian bread. 

 Serves :  3 to 4
Ingredients:
  • Potato/Aloo - 1, Medium
  • Carrot - 1
  • Green Peas - 1/2 cup
  • Lima beans/Broad beans - 1/2 cup (Use any type of been that are available)
  • Cauliflower florets - 1 cup
  • Spinach/Palak  -  1 cup, chopped
  • Onion - 1, Medium
  • Red chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
  • ginger-garlic paste - 1/2 tsp
  • Cumin-coriander powder - 1 tsp
  • Garam masala - 1/4 tsp, homemade or 1/2 tsp, store bought
  • Salt to taste (See Note)
  • Oil - 1 tbsp
  • Coriander leaves - 1/4 cup
Preparation:
  • Peel carrot and potato and clean them. Wash cauliflower with turmeric water.
  • Boil all the veggies except onion and spinach, strain and keep aside.
  • Heat oil in a pan, add onions, little salt and turmeric. When onions turn brown add ginger-garlic paste and fry till raw smell goes off.
  • Add spinach, red chilli powder, coriander-cumin powder. Mix well and cook for 2 minutes. 
  • Add boiled veggies, salt and cook with lid on for 5 minutes. No need to add water.
  • Add garam masala and garnish with coriander leaves.
Note:
  • As we add spinach and not using water in the gravy, we can use less salt.
