Vegetable Karahi
Description
This Vegetable Karahi combines potatoes, green and red bell peppers, carrots, onions, garlic, ginger, and tomatoes with a blend of spices to create a flavorful curry. Cumin and coriander seeds are fried first, releasing their aroma before adding the onion, garlic, and ginger mixture. Turmeric and chili powder provide warmth and color, while dried fenugreek adds a subtle bitterness that complements the sweet vegetables. The dish simmers with water to create a sauce that can be adjusted for thickness depending on preference.
Vegetables are chopped into bite-sized pieces and cooked until soft but retaining some texture. The final sprinkle of fresh coriander brightens the curry. The resulting dish is colorful, with a balance of spice and earthiness from the seeds and powder.
Vegetable Karahi suits serving with flatbreads or steamed rice, making it suitable for a vegetarian meal. Adjust the amount of water during simmering to create your preferred sauce consistency.
