Vankaya, Chikkudukaya, Cauliflower Kura (curry)

A MIXED VEGETABLE CURRY WITH BRINJAL, INDIAN BROAD BEANS AND CAULIFLOWER (ANDHRA STYLE)
I always like to have my lunch very simple like one subji and rice or roti. I hardly make two curries, rice rasam for week days lunch. If I have rice in the afternoon I prefer to have roti or any thing light for dinner. This curry is one of the perfect combination with rice or roti. I usually make this with the combination of brinjal and broad beans. But in winters when we get cauliflower can mix cauliflower to this curry. Other then cauliflower you can mix potato to the same curry. If you want to make this as a side dish pappu charu or pesara pappucharu or any tadka dal is the best combination with this curry

The curry sounds simple , yet flavourful . I too eat rice one time and eat some kind of roti for the next meal . I guess this way meals balance.

Nice side dish. Nowadays I make this kind of curries for lunch. Combining two or three veggies make it more filling..

I would have never thought of combining cauliflower, brinjal and broad beans.Its a sabji I will try as I'm always looking out for different combinations to make sabji. Get tired of eating the same kind.
