Kaikari Pirrattal/Mixed Veggies Fry

     Yesterday i was thinking what to prepare differently as i was bored with my usual cooking and wanted to try some new variety.Then only i got this recipe from Mallika Badrinath's cookbook and when i tried it came out well and was really happy that now i got one more dish to my menu.My hubby loved it when he had with hot rice and ghee.This is one of the chettinad variety.

5.Now add the grind-ed paste and saute well till you get a nice aroma.

6.Once u get a nice aroma add the boiled veggies,salt and water.

7.Now saute it well the gravy becomes thick as a fry and then put off the fire.

8.Now serve it with hot rice and ghee.We can mix with rice or can have with curd rice too.But tastes good when mixed with white rice.

Notes :

1.We can even use cauliflower and peas.
