Mixed Vegetable Kurma

Vegetables are vital part of healthy diet. Vegetables are important source of vitamins. They are low in calories and are packed with minerals, vitamins, antioxidants etc.

Now coming over to the today's recipe vegetable kurma - a medley of vegetables in spicy gravy. Vegetables and spices are blended together to give a flavorful and aromatic recipe. A side dish served with parathas/ rotis/ Naans. My favorite way to eat this vegetable kurma with parathas.
