Easy Mix Vegetables tastes like the one we get in restaurants but minus an overload of calories. This delicious main course dish has no cream and extra butter added. Generally in the restaurants, vegetables are fried and used but I have air-fried them to get the smoky fried flavour and texture, but without oil.
There is a lot of variations in making mix vegetables. The taste varies depending on the combination of vegetables and the style of cooking. Mix vegetable is made in every household and all the restaurants have it on their menu.
This recipe is my favourite as it is very simple, and made with commonly found vegetables. Try this healthy and nutritious vegetable dish with roti, rice or even with bread and I can bet, you will love it!
