FAQ’S
1. Can we prepare Mix Veg with Frozen Vegetables?
Yes, we can use frozen vegetables for this recipe. There are usually mixed frozen vegetables cut into chunks that are available in supermarkets. You can use them to make this sabzi. All you have to do is to thaw the vegetables, or boil them in hot water for 5 minutes and use them for the sabzi.
2.How to make this sabzi kid-friendly?
For this, you need to adjust the spice level. You can omit using dry red chilies and red chili powder in the sabzi. This will reduce the spiciness and kids will totally love it. Also, this mixed vegetable is very healthy for kids as it has many vegetables in it. Also, another tip here is to add Paneer cubes into the recipe as kids love paneer and so they will happily eat this sabzi.
3. Can we add Coconut Cream to this sabzi?
Yes, you can add coconut cream to this recipe instead of fresh cream. This is also a good option to make this sabzi Vegan. The coconut cream gives a nice aroma and taste to this curry. I also add it just to give a small twist to this recipe. Do try adding it yourself.
4. How to chop Vegetables for Mix Vegetable Curry?
Chop Vegetables like potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, french beans into even and medium chunks. If you cut them too big then they will not be cooked evenly and also will take a very long time to cook. On the other hand, if you cut them into small chunks, they will cook faster, but eventually, when it will be mixed in gravy they will get mushy very fast.
5. What are the Best Vegetables to use for Mix Veg?
Ideally, you can use any vegetables of your choice or the ones that are handy. You can also include seasonal vegetables.
However, my recommendations are using vegetables like Potato, carrots, capsicum, cauliflower, french beans, and green peas. These are the vegetables that will give you the same taste, flavor, and crunch similar to the ones you will find in restaurants.
6. How do I add the vegetables to the curry?
This depends on the cooking time of the vegetables like cauliflower, potato, carrots will take a longer time to cook, so add them first and later on, you can add vegetables like boiled green peas, Sweet corn, French beans, paneer if you are using in the recipe.
For making this recipe quicker, you can boil the vegetables in a pot and later mix them in the curry.
7. How to serve Mix Veg Curry?
Garnish it with finely chopped coriander leaves, drizzle a bit of fresh cream and serve it hot. This Sabzi pairs well with roti, naan, poori, and paratha. It will also taste good with jeera rice, steamed rice, and garlic rice. Always serve cool raita and papad along with it to make it look like a small feast and a complete meal.
