Mixed Vegetable Curry
by Tarla Dalal

A gem from Lebanese cuisine, this Mixed Vegetable Curry offers your taste buds a dashing experience, thanks to the use of a special Lebanese spice mix called Baharat. Together with tomato puree and a couple of other spice powders, the Baharat gives a penetrating flavour and aroma to this dish.

Along with juicy veggies like tomatoes, beans, potatoes and zucchini, this recipe also combines pita bread, which improves the texture and adds to the volume of this Mixed Vegetable Curry. Serve it hot, with Saffron Rice, another Middle Eastern masterpiece.
