Description

I think veggies are boring .. ( no offense to anyone here please ) but this knock out recipe did make me eat my words … Literally as to me veggies often take a back seat while creating dishes . complains keep pouring in at home saying that I always end up making the usual when it comes to vegetarian dishes . So I used an interesting technique for a delightful twist of substituting vegetables instead of mutton in a lucknowy recipe that I came across . The subtle creamy curry did pair well with the mixed veggies that elevated the dish to another level that was highly appreciated by my entire family and guaranteed me to relish my veggies like never before . So peeps veg with an edge like never before with this recipe .
