    Simple Nepali vegetable curry made with green beans and carrot. Mildly spiced dish that is perfect to serve with roti or dal bhat.

    I love curries with mixed vegetables. My mom used to make them often when we were growing up. I was used to that concept of mixing different veggies to make a curry. But when I told a friend, she said she was not used to random veggies mixed together in a curry.

    I have quite a few combinations of mixed vegetable curries on the blog like this mixed veggie sagu or this Gujarati sambhariya shaak. Recipes to use up last of the veggies in the refrigerator are always handy to have in one's repertoire.

    What is Tarkari?

    Tarkari is a word to describe vegetable side dishes or curries in Indian subcontinent, Nepal and Bangladesh. These are generally dry stir fries or sautes.

    Nepali tarkari can be made with any combination of veggies. But traditionally it includes potato, cabbage, carrot, green beans, peas, cauliflower etc. Feel free to use 2 or 3 of the mentioned veggies to make the dish.

    Recipe adapted from Sandhya's Dal Bhaat Tarkari post. She used potato and cauliflower to make her curry but I made mine with green beans and carrots.

      Though I like mixed vegetables, my husband is not a big fan of it. There are certain vegetables I like to mix up. I don't mix beans & carrots but would not mind it all.

      Same as Priya, all the left over bits and pieces of veggies go into a curry. Your curry looks so good Pavani...
