Vegetable Kadai
by Tarla Dalal
A quick look into the menu of any Indian restaurant across the world, and you are likely to find the Vegetable Kadai or Kadai Vegetable featuring in it.
A melange of veggies in a masaledar gravy, this recipe is an all-time favourite. With colourful and crunchy veggies like coloured capsicums, carrots, beans and potatoes, it has an appetizing appearance and an even more appealing taste.
It accompanies most Indian breads and rice dishes very well, so you do not have to think twice about including it in any menu! You can also try your hand at making other veg dishes like Mixed Vegetable Subzi and Mili Jhuli Subzi .
