I made cilantro chapati last night and it cameout so flavourful. I will post the recipe soon. When I was thinking to make a curry to go with it. I remembered the chopped carrot and beans which I kept frozen couple of weeks ago and also the almonds which were lying in the fridge. I thought of making something with that, then came to a conclusion of making a vegetable curry with almonds..I also throwed one potato which I cubed along with a hanful of peas in it..It came out so good and hubby loved it a lot.
This curry is so easy to make. I made it from start to finish in less than 30 mins. You can add cashews in place of almonds, but I think almonds is little healthier than cashews. You can use any vegetables as you like..This can be served with roti, rice or appam..
I hope you will love it and tell me if you tried it..
