Recipe
1
Wash all the chopped vegetables thoroughly and keep them ready.
2
In a heavy-bottomed pan, add the cubed vegetables, raw papaya, potatoes, plantain, parwal, and broad beans along with chopped tomatoes, green chilies, and ginger.
3
Pour in about 2 cups of water, add salt, cover, and let the vegetables boil until tender.
4
Once the vegetables are cooked, lower the heat and pour in the milk, stirring gently to prevent curdling. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
5
In a separate small pan, heat mustard oil until smoking point, then add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and dried red chilies.
6
Allow the spices to splutter, then pour this tempering directly over the simmering vegetable curry.
7
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with freshly made phulkas.
