Tarkari Ni Kari | Parsi Style Vegetable Stew| How to make Parsi Style Sabji| Gluten Free and Vegan Recipe

Hi Supermoms,

I made this Parsi Style Vegetable Curry/Stew few weeks ago. Simple and delicious side dish. I had served it along with Gujarati Style Khichdi and rotis. 

'Tarkari Ni Kari' is a Parsi Special Vegetable Curry. Fresh seasonal vegetables are used to make this simple , tasty everyday curry. The spices used in this dish are similar to the Indian coastal cuisine . The curry is semi gravy and the use of tomatoes, chillies and  tamarind gives it a mild sweet, spicy and  tangy taste. The use of fresh coconut or coconut milk further enriches the taste of the curry.  This Vegetable Curry is a healthy addition to any meals and can be served along with rice or roti.
