Mixed Vegetables in Spinach Gravy

A very healthy and nutritious sabzi prepared by cooking seasonal vegetables in spinach gravy. There are many names attached to this sabzi when it comes to ordering this sabzi at a restaurant. Few of the names which we are aware of are – Diwani Handi or Subz Diwani Handi. Call it by any name, but in simple terms it is nothing but seasonal vegetables of your choice cooked in a creamy spinach gravy. We have tried to make this sabzi healthy and avoided cream in this.

We have not added extra water while cooking this sabzi and so this recipe has a semi-dry consistency. You may add water, if you prefer gravy in this sabzi.

The main highlight of mixed vegetable sabzi recipes is that you can add your favourite veggies and can also present it with different veggies each time you serve. We have tried to incorporate many veggies – but as we said, you may vary the proportion of them as per your choice or may also omit adding any veggie. Few of the veggies here needs to be parboiled.

What is Parboiling?

Parboiling in simple terms means partially cooking the vegetables i.e. when you boil the veggies, you cook them completely or say 100%. But in parboiling, you cook the veggies till they are 60-70% done. After parboiling veggies, they need further cooking procedures like stir-frying or grilling.

Preparing the Sabzi
