After making sweet potato chips which i posted few days back, you can find the post here, i still had one sweet potato left in the fridge which was screaming to be used. I also had a big cauliflower and few spring onion sticks which i had bought on last weekend. I prefer to buy fresh veggies as in summer there are high chances of veggies getting spoiled if we store them for a longer period. I did not follow any recipe but created my own, for which i am really happy as the curry turned out to very very tasty...... :))
I served the curry with plain jeera rice and the combination was awesome...i definately will be making this again.
