  1. Dear Manjula, what a wonderful recipe and clear instruction. I have made this a few times and the combination of ingredients is perfect. Do you think it is OK to use an unseeded green chilli and then leave out the chilli powder.

    Thanks kindly

        1. Isn’t besan a chickpea flour? Anyway. LOVE LOVE LOVE your recipe Auntie Manjula and cook them often. I was surprised, however not to see onion and garlic in your recipes. Is there are a specific reason for that?
          Thank you VERY much for sharing your knowledge, your kindness and graciousness with us, and please keep posting your videos.

          Namaste.

  2. I just made this. Thanks for the recipe, Manjula!

    The only change I would suggest is to use 5 cups of vegetables instead of 4, and to use 4 tomatoes blended instead of 5. I followed the recipe as it was written and things came out a little soupy. Otherwise great recipe.

  3. Are the 4 cups mixed vegetables in addition to the cauliflower, peas, carrots, mushrooms and zucchini? Because I was thinking of using 4 cups of frozen mixed vegetables, but then the extra peas and carrots seem redundant. Please advise ? Thank you 🙂

    1. I think she means that you put the veggies in the standard measuring cups to figure out the quantity. That’s what I do and it works out great.

      I wonder if corn flour and corn starch are the same things.

  4. Dear Manjula,

    Thank you so much for this recipe as I was wondering what side dish to make for a gathering. This came in very handy! I’m planning to make this for a group of 10-12 people. Can you tell me the quantity for the ingredients you have used? Also how much corn starch should I use for this number? Thanks once again! Can’t wait to try this out!!

  5. Hi Manjula, I subscribe to your YouTube channel… so when I googled “best vegetable curry recipe” and this page came up, I knew it could be trusted 🙂

    One question: where does one find asafetida? And if I can’t find it, what’s a good substitute?

    1. Hi, Garlic is a good substitute. A Hari Krishna cook told me that they don’t use onions or garlic in their cooking as it ‘inflames the passions’! asfoteda is used in place of these ingredients.

  6. thanx a lot mam apne to bahot si problem solve kar di……………actually mam i am living alone in france, so please could you teach us some recipe which is less time consuming and does not need lot of ingredients

  7. dear manjula,

  8. Manjula aunty I have a question about the spices.
    I thought
    I always had to fry the spices first to remove
    the raw taste but this recipe – and some others I’ve seen –
    don’t do that. What is right?

  9. I love watching you cook. I feel like I’m in your kitchen with you. I have tried some of your recipes and they are indeed easy and very, very tasty.
    Thank you so much, I look forward to the next recipe.
    Heather

  10. Namaste Manjula Aunty,

    Your recipes are great. I long for your posting since they are w/o onion or garlic.

    In this recipe, I want you to tell me, what flour can be substituted for corn flour and will it make a difference in taste?

    Thanks

  11. Namaste dear Manjula!
