This vegetable stew is a wonderful side dish to prepare when you are desperate to clean the contents of your refrigerator.Its also handy when u have very few vegetables and wondering what to prepare.Sounds intriguing?
Well,this is one such curry where you can throw in any vegetable and add a little coconut milk for extra flavor and you will find your folks begging you to make it often!!!!

Carrot-1/2
Red bell pepper-1
Green bell pepper-1
Beans-5 numbers
Peas-a handful
Boiled garbanzo -a handful
Tomato-1
Zucchini-1/2
Coconut milk-1 cup
Garlic-2 cloves
Onion-1
Cinnamon-a small piece
Cloves-2
Chilli powder-1 teaspoon
Bay leaf-1
Cumin seeds-1 teaspoon
Oil- 1 teaspoon
Salt to taste
- Chop all the vegetables into even sized pieces and microwave adding a little water on high for 5 minutes till almost done.[all vegetables except onion,garlic,tomato]
- In a pan heat oil and add cumin,Cinnamon,cloves,bay leaves.
- When it crackles add onion and garlic.
- Saute till onion is translucent.
- Put in tomato and cook till soft.
- Put in cooked vegetables,coconut milk,boiled garbanzo beans,chilli powder,salt.
- Adjust the consistency by adding a little water if required.
