 Veg kadai masala recipe with step by step pictures

             Veg kadai masala is a sidedish recipe for Indian flat breads. It is a easy to cook recipe which tastes too good with chapathi, roti, naan. I have added carrots and beans in this recipe. You can add your favorite vegetables too. Adding curd enhances the taste of the dish. I made it in gravy consistency, you can make it dry too. Do try at your home.
