Veg Makhanwala- Restaurant Style mixed vegetables cooked in a mildly spiced creamy sauce
Veg makhanwala is a popular Punjabi dish which is made with a medley of vegetables and then cooked in a creamy gravy. its a popular choice for all festive occasions and each restaurants menu card.
I often make it at home but in a simple way which is quick ,easy and taste awesome .you can also add some fried cashews in it if you want to make it more rich and festive
Though the traditional way of making this veg makhanwala is quite lengthy ,first you have to make the red gravy and then proceed with making the curry. This recipe is a short cut method but taste just awesome! We blanch the vegetables and then cook them in an instant sauce and the curry is ready in a jiffy !
You can serve this veg makhanwala with jeera rice, pulao,naan, kulcha aor any bread of your choice. It taste delicious with everything.
