Posted by PicasaI have got many left over vegetables in my refrigerator. I want to put them to good use and prepared this mixed vegetable curry.

1)Add 1 tbsp oil in a wide bottomed vessel and fry the onion till it is brown and cool it completely before making it to a fine paste.

3)When they start spluttering add onion paste and fry for a while.
4)Now add grated ginger and fry till it turns brown in colour.
5)Now add all the chopped vegetables except tomato and cook them on medium flame for nearly 10 minutes with covered lid by adding 1 cup of water
