I make this type of curry when I have a little bit of a lot of vegetables left in the fridge. It never tastes the same, because the combination of vegetables and amounts used are never the same. You can use mixed frozen vegetables. You can change the 'tarka to your liking, here I have made it in south Indian style.

Serves 4.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 medium-sized aubergine

  • 1 courgette

  • 1 cup cauliflower florets

  • 1 potato

  • 1/2 cup Paneer , cut into fingers or squares.

  • 1 tsp. mustard seeds
